> [@inkleberry](#): > > Did you get the one from me? 😕😕 Nope. If the package was too big, the p.o. would have held it, my apartment mailbox is kind of small. But then, theoretically, they would have left a card notifying me a package was being held. Then I could take a day off work to go get it. ---

It was small, but perhaps not small enough. ☹ ---

I’m waiting on mine, but then I haven’t sent mine yet - mea maxima culpa! Finals sort of interefered with it. Rest assured, it’s going out soon. 🙂 My apologies. ---

Huh, I just now thought of reading the list of waiting recipients and **AkWally1** shoulda got a package sometime last week. Sent the same day I sent yours, **twicks** , so is there a postal worker with a new shirt maybe? 😕 ---

**TwoTrouts** – thanks – that’s why I wanted to double-check my list before I started going after people. **pullin** – at this point, we’re pretty much mopping this exchange up – maybe next time. Sorry. ---

Sorry. Okey Doke. I thought it might be over, but realized I was sitting a cache of shirts. I’ll try to be more on the ball next time. ---

A lovely package arrived in my mailbox today from **Elysian** , containing not one but _two_ t-shirts, “a little slice of the Midwest.” Thanks! I’m wearing one right now, and I don’t care what anyone else says, **Elysian** , you’re not a slacker in my book! ---

This is my understanding of who’s still waiting for a shirt: _Ace309 AkWally1 Alan\_Smithee Altiod_ AwSnappity Booker57 chaoticdonkey\*\* Congodwarf\* electrozion\*\* heraldgwena\* MissTake\* Portia (x2) US\*/intl. ? ShirleyUjest\* Tanookie VunderBob\*\* \*sender said they’ve mailed \*\* sender promised to mail by 5/20 Looks like we may have a couple of orphans – I’ll start looking for volunteers to adopt them in another week or so. Note that if someone didn’t get a shirt but also didn’t send one out, that person is not eligible for orphan status. Ahem. ---

> [@Portia](#): > > I called and they can’t help me w/o knowing what zip code it came from and whether it was parcel or air mail or whatever. 😕 First class mail originating from Hayward, CA 94544 on 5/5/05. They haven’t returned it yet, and it did have a return address, so here’s hoping it’s hanging out somewhere. You’ll need it for tomorrow. ---

Don’t despair **Vunderbob** the package is inbound. Things have been completely horrid at work, much bloodletting, pinkslips a-flying, but after much ado, it’s in the mail, you should get it soon. Thanks for being so patient. ---

OK, I’ll call the P.O again tomorrow. It still hasn’t peeked its head out of the mailbox… I hope mine have at least gotten to **HeraldGwena**!? I appreciate that the one to Thailand, though it seems I paid for a first class plane ticket for it, will take a couple weeks. But it will be well worth it… 😉 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/sdmb-t-shirt-exchange/298506.md?page=13) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/sdmb-t-shirt-exchange/298506.md?page=15)
