The course catalogue office is tremendously deadline-oriented, as I'm sure they have to be with all the departments they have to track. I promptly photocopied these pages and turned them in to our department head for approval. I very prominently wrote the deadline on the pages, so he'd know when to get them back to me. That deadline was yesterday. He very quickly e-mailed me back, saying he would do so.
Yesterday goes by and no dice.
No response this time. Maybe chemists have a different definition of the time of day. I was beyond pissed off. I think every department head, manager, supervisor, etc. If they did so, maybe the other disheartening event from today wouldn't have happened.
