Two months ago I was whining about a special promotion at work that was taking up all my time. It was supposed to be for January only but they decided to extend it through February. At the end of February they extended it through March. I now have 7 boxes (the big ones that hold copy paper) in my cube full of the related mail that we've received since about March 3. My supervisor has at least two boxes with mail from the first few days of March. That's all mail that we weren't able to process in March because we were too busy trying to catch up with February. This is all in addition to our regular work which generally fills up the day. We've been feeling a little shell-shocked but happy that March was just about over.
Last night before I left I got a forwarded e-mail indicating they were planning to extend the promotion into April. At this rate we will still be catching up on this thing in 2009.
