You know what really, really irritates me? When someone asks me for something and mentions how they need me to email it to them right away, and then I find that they don’t even check their email for it, and probably won’t actually need it for days.

I may just have to re-institute a 2-3 day turn around on all database requests again to prevent this sort of thing from happening. I’ve had to do it before because people refused to either plan ahead, or be honest about when they really needed things. Sad isn’t it?

    Excuse the mess for the moment, I’m playing around with enabling trackbacks using Haloscan’s trackback feature, because, well, because I can.
