dzhowhee, <60min to blackout04:07
* Unit193 is so scared </sarcasm_for_now>04:09
* Cheri703 is trying to decide if it is a good idea to send an angry/frustrated email when suffering from sleep deprivation04:25
dzhomight be ok to compose it, to get it out of your system, but postpone it.04:26
dzhouse all that energy to drive the writing, sure.04:26
Cheri703well, I *do* need a response on part of it as soon as possible, and I'll be asleep when he is likely to get it / respond04:26
dzhodoesn't sound like there's much choice, then, really.04:26
Cheri703short version: purchased something, in setting it up, running into ALL SORTS of quality control issues, have had to make multiple trips to purchase parts that should have come with it, will have to make more trips to fix a spot that has stripped threads, just all around ridiculous...and I'm pissed. also bought x specifically to mount y, explicitly mentioned I was planning to use y, guy recommended y, and there is NO POSSIBLE way that y will04:28
Cheri703fit securely onto x...04:28
Cheri703so I'm super annoyed04:28
Cheri703the mounting issue is the part I need a reply on, we've discussed some of the rest of it, but he's all "oh, no big deal, just go get replacement thingy, I'll pay for the part" but it requires driving across town, waiting til a car is available, and coming home from the store to realize I will have to go RIGHT BACK for another part is ridiculous04:29
