04/09/2002 Entry: "Horrible News"

Before the book dumping incident on the 24th, I had sent an e-mail to the library asking if they could make an exception to their April 8th date for accepting new donations. They sent me back a response saying they would let me know by that Friday if they could arrange anything. But they never got back to me, so I figured they couldn't deal with the request. Well, this Saturday I'm planning on dropping off the books that fit in the storage area. I went back to the e-mails I had been trading with the library, so I could make sure someone would be around Saturday morning. I was surprised to see an unread message from the library saying that it would be OK to make the donation on the 24th. It was dated on the 21st, just a few hours after their 'we'll get back to you' message had been sent out. As far as I can tell from the headers, it was really delivered at that time. But I know I didn't get it. I am absolutely sure of it. I was watching for some sort of response very closely. I don't get so much spam that a message I was waiting for would have gone unnoticed. But yet, there's a response in my in-box now, and I'm wondering if all those books got thrown away because I didn't pay close enough attention to my messages. I feel sick.
