Incomplete

Before I went to Vegas two weekends ago, I was writing back & forth with the instructor from my web design class. Because I like to share, I wrote:

FYI, I can't wait for this quarter to be done. In addition to this class, I have three 1000-word papers due for my Intro to Film class. And, I've got a week worth of data to recreate at work.

Long story short, the server housing our accounting/manufacturing software system crashed. We restored days later but our only backup is from 7/26. Our I.T. people are in big trouble for that. Finance, Sales Support, and Production have to re-input all transactions from the last week of July. And, add to that, three people who handled these transactions were let go on 7/31 (they knew months in advance). That leaves me to do a lot of it. Woe is me. :)

AND, to top it off, I have an out of town guest for the weekend to prepare for.

Yeah, I know what you're thinking.

T, M, I.

I do like to share too much with people sometimes. But she writes back:

This sounds really tough. If you need the option, I would agree to an Incomplete since I'm sure you'd actually finish the work.

At first, I replied back to her and said I'd be okay. Buuuuut.... what did I do today? I called her up and requested to, yes, please allow me take an Incomplete in the class. The only thing I have left in the class is a final project template and the actual project itself.

I feel relieved right now. I've been go-gO-GO lately and just stressing myself out so much. Now, I can just relax a wee bit and take care of the final project before the end of next quarter.

Feels good. Relief. Woot.
