Like I said earlier, regardless of the geopolitics, we still have a
business to run. Sometimes, it's just not possible to take care of quick
interview requests as quickly as some might like. I know for a fact that
Ann was with clients all morning and I have been in design meetings for
much of my week. I got the email mid-afternoon with an 11:30 expiry on it
- not much sense in doing much with it at that point but passing it on to
our PR group to see what they could salvage. The problem with PR is that
they have to get clearance from legal...well, you get the idea. I'll be
surprised if Brian/Scott(?) gets a call back by late next week ;)
As far as NSI goes, the left hand apparently doesn't know what the right
hand is doing. We are constantly in conversation with them on a variety of
issues. As far as this specific instance goes, we were in conversation
with them for most of this week and had everything sorted out yesterday
evening around 5:00pmish...
