all's well that...

Thanks for writing. I apologize for taking so long to get back to you. I've gone ahead and created a reshipment of the correct shirt for you and we'll send it with FedEx International Economy so that it will get to you much faster. Also, don't worry about returning the girl's shirt, perhaps you know someone who would like it? We appreciate your support.

after all that - penny arcade's merch dept. rocks!!

the other correction that just took place involves singer faxing the cover sheet that i'd intended to send with my grades to the professor, because i wasn't focused and i accidentally sent the half-finished draft sheet instead.
how embarrassingly blind.

one thing's for certain, regardless - the next academic course of action for me is not going to be trivial.

i spent the morning clearing out the mass of emails that somehow managed to collect in only two days, and the rest of the day working at a fairly steady pace and clearing a couple of major hurdles by 8pm.

the highlight of the work-day was without any doubt beginning it by being extremely firm with our SC after being informed that he was taking away more resources from my main project when we're already encroaching on our deadline. i explained to him in no uncertain terms that this would be the second deal-breaking decision of his, and although i don't know if he's going to back down or not i do know that i've said what i had to say and i'm in the clear.

there's nothing worse than a manager asking a developer how long something will take, interfering, and then demanding that the original deadline be met.
