=/ Yeah, after it loses its relevance! I think I'll roll my eyes if the subsequent "I think I sent my submission in too late" question I sent to the editorial ALSO gets in this issue... ¬_¬ [at least now I know/have a reminder* how to tell if I made it before I read the issue]
*[[I did make it in once before but that was YEARS ago quite literally]]
The other blunder I made was taking a Tuesday off, since APPARENTLY no one will do the 88 report when I'm out. In layman's terms, it means I spent from 8:45 [when I trawled in] until 1:00 WITHOUT BREAK sending e-mails and faxes of the orders that shipped Monday and Tuesday.
Wednesday's historically safer to take off without impacting the workload much. Except I pretty much had to take Tuesday off to get that extra free day for Nano =/ [note for next year~*]
*[[when I told C I would write about the
tidally-locked Earth-like planet]]
