Apparantly "I'll send it in half an hour" really means "You sit and wait at Scott's computer, and I'll send it eventually...some day...but definitely not before at least an hour...yeah."

So, the annoying Director at work, whom I've recently not had to deal with so much because of "realignment" and things like that, is totally keeping me waiting on a freaking Sunday afternoon. I'm supposed to update our website but I cannot do that WITHOUT THE FREAKING STORY THAT IS TO GO ON THE WEBSITE! And she totally called over an hour ago saying I'd have it in a half an hour, and it has not shown up yet. GRRR!

And I get to deal with this because the actual webmaster is off helping his girlfriend give birth to their baby. BAH! (Okay, I'm totally kidding about being annoyed by that - I think both J & S are awesome, and I am so excited that they're having their baby this weekend, and I cannot wait to visit them all.)

But it's so annoying checking my email, and not having anything waiting for me. I just want to post the story!

ETA:

Half an hour apparantly means two hours later. But I got it up within half an hour of receiving it, so it's all good. And I watched a movie for most of the time that I was waiting, so it could have been worse.

When people give me a really specific, really short timeline like that, I call/email them to harrass them about it pretty quickly. "In half an hour" means I'd call/email after an hour to say something like "Can you re-send? Something must have gone wrong!"

Heh. I thought about it, but then I decided to have a shower and get dressed first, after which I'd call her about it. It arrived EXACTLY when I checked my email again, which was a little eerie.

I was going to, but I decided to shower and get dressed first, and then there it was. I was also watching a movie while waiting, so it wasn't as bad as it could have been.
