Thursday

Comments returned on Report From Hell via slingshot. Some are readily addressed. Others are the reasons why one has a 1:1 with one's manager once a week.

Guitar arrived! I was a little concerned after the UPS delivery person commented that the packaging was terrible, but all turned out ok. This guitar is smaller than I thought it would be, and lighter. And it had steel strings, for which I'm grateful. Don't like nylon.

I'm very glad tomorrow is Friday.

Ah, yes -- comments. Well, once you get them 1) integrated with the report or 2) chucked in the bin with salty curses flung after them, you'll be golden.

A couple of them require two or three extra weeks and an analytical tech of mine very own, neither of which I'll be gittin' any time soon.

Sometimes I wish life had a rewind button.

Rewind, pause, and for the 4:30 PM doldrums a fast-forward.

But you did get the guitar, so that's cool.

I did, although judging from the UPS delivery person's reaction--we've had the same one since we've lived here, and she's not inclined to bs--I'm lucky it arrived in one piece. It was packed in a soft gig bag, wrapped in three layers of (admittedly thick) bubble wrap, then inserted into a jury-rigged cardboard container. Not an actual box, but a cardboard oval. The end flaps were slit and taped in such a way that they overlapped enough to remain closed. It was defintely not a standard shipping container. I don't think writing "Fragile--Guitar" on the side serves as sufficient warding to keep the smash-me gremlins away.

I'm still trying to figure out how to word my feedback. I mean, the thing arrived in an incredibly timely manner--final bid on Saturday, arrival of guitar on Thursday. Technically, everything's great. But if anything had fallen on that package, especially on the neck...
