Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Call for Chapter Contribution: Book on 'Bondage of Boundaries and the 'Toxic Other' in Postcolonial Africa'

No, Lavonda. It's nothing to be ashamed off. There is so much stress in our work life. Imagine this: yesterday, I had to return to my office to be sure I locked it, climbing several floors! And even after the verification, I thought maybe I didn't turn the handle, and wanted to go back! Then, I said to myself: hold it, Obodo! You are going nuts! Go home and have a beer and play some jazz! 

And what about searching everywhere for a bunch of keys that is right inside your pant pocket? Overload! You are not alone in that mess.

Warm regards.
Obododimma.

Thank you and I feel publicly humiliated.  I read that last date, it was at the top of the page and I don't know - I THOUGHT IT WAS 2O11 INSTEAD OF 2010.  It is official - I don't know hwat year it is.  I guess I will make up for the whole thing by writing over the holiday. 
 
I really feel stupid right now. 
 
I'm sorry Chambi.

PS - At least a lot of people read the doggone thing because I put my fangs into you!

Lavonda,
My own download reads something different. Here below is what is in the attached document:

) Deadline for receipt of abstracts: 30 January 2011

(2) Deadline of receipt of full papers: 30 June 2011

(3) Deadline for revised papers: 30 August 2011

(4) Submission of edited manuscript to the publisher: 30 November 2011


You probably misread 2011 as 2010! I merely copied the above schedule from the attached doc and pasted on this email page.


Best,

Obododimma.

Chambi,
 
Forgive me for sounding outrageously harsh my friend, but the due date on this thing is less than 48 hours away.  Unless I'm not a good reader the attached document says that chapters are due November 30, 2010.  Even if we had something ready that really isn't enough time for a good review.  Coupled with the fact that undoubtedly there are a lot of MIA folks due to the holiday weekend.  I guess I'm so pissed because at first glance, this seemed like the perfect thing to keep my hands occupied over the Christmas holiday.  Specifically, lines 4 through 6 really sparked my interests.  I was actually excited!  Oh well.  Next time, as soon as you get it - shoot it hot off the press.  All you did was get my mouth set for something I cannot devour.  It kind of made me angry to be really honest.
