I hope I am reading the promise date wrong. A whole week after I placed my order. A pile of steel balls. I was sitting around waiting for the delivery today, and I reread the promise date. It was for today. and now it is too late to call them. That means I am a week behind. That means I have to send 30 emails of sincerest apologies. That means my iCal calandar is all off by one week and I have to redo all the entries. Most of all, it means that I am still not caught up. I have been so behind, working so hard to catch up, and here I am even further behind. Damn. Sometimes you try so hard and it still just keeps screwing up. I was pushing the long delivery time with my customers already. And now it is going to be longer. I feel like an ass. They are the best steel balls around, and this never happens. I can't be mad at them. I should order my materials in a more timely manner I suppose. But the money for the materials always materializes right before. It always works in the nick of time. I suppose I lost the gamble this time. I just wish I could call them to find out for sure. Now I have to sit and wallow in it all night...
