The
help_haiti auction's last hour and a half of bidding happened this morning while I was teaching, of course, so the only bid I had that was still active was overbid during that time frame. By $1. I tried a belated bid, no dice (which is perfectly reasonable, rules are rules).
Dang it.
I realize that any ending point would cause problems for some percentage of people, but naturally I am frustrated that this particular instance was bad for me. If it had been just one hour later, I'd have had a chance.
Will still donate to Doctors Without Borders, mind you; I'd only been waiting to see what happened with this.
*is grumpy*
Going home now. Still have much to do to get the laptop fully functional again, plus must make black bean salad for dept. potluck tomorrow.
