Response: As I'm sure you're aware, the Mid-Atlantic region was hit with two blizzards in the past two weeks that broke all snow fall records that have stood in the area for more than 100 years. I actually finished your hearts on the morning of 2/5, put the package together at work that day, and put it in the mail room to be posted. A few hours later, the DC government issued a severe storm warning, our office closed, and we were all told to go home and stay home. The entire region was then snowed in for the next week. The government was closed from Monday to Thursday, during which time mail was not delivered or picked up from most locations. Regardless, Monday, 2/15 was my first day back in the office, as it was for the workers in the mail room. I could have no idea whether or not they had been able to process and post the package to the mailbox in our building before the blizzard hit on Friday. I send all of my swaps through my office mail room, and they do a very good job at metering and posting things in a timely fashion. But, on this occasion, even if they had processed the package so that the meter stamp read '2/5', it would have sat in the downstairs mail pick-up until 2/15 when *our* mail carrier finally made it through to our office building. On 2/6 I logged onto Swap-bot and marked the package as sent because I had sent it. The package was out of my hands, and for all I knew, on the way to its destination. If I had known that our mail room workers hadn't finished (or started) processing the mail before we left on Friday, I would have let you know. I wasn't trying to screw anyone over, at the time I simply had no idea that there would be any kind of delay in when the package would be metered, picked-up, and delivered. Normally, this happens within a time frame of a few hours from the moment I drop things off in our mail room. On this occasion, things did not go according to plan and greater forces prevailed. Again, I wasn't trying to screw anyone over. As the consecutive blizzards rolled in I just honestly, honestly wasn't thinking about the mail I had left at the office on 2/5.
