I have explained this about a dozen times before.  I'm getting thoroughly
pissed off.

There were 183 kits ordered.  It's been taking me, on average, about 4
hours to pack each individual kit and double-check the contents.  That's a
total of about 700 hours of work.

I was a part time student, and a 3/4 time worker.  That means I had absolutely
no time during the week to work on this.  If I spend 32 hours every weekend
on this (that leaves no time for homework, eating, cleaning the house, etc.),
that's 20 weeks!

I've been working my butt off every weekend since mid-November when
I got the first set of parts from the suppliers.  I worked clean through
Thanksgiving vacation and all during Christmas vacation.  I even worked
during finals week for you people!

Of the 6 people who volunteered to help me pack, not a single person helped.

I've now got one person who's volunteered to help me one day this coming
weekend.  And i'm happy as hell for it.

But I'm sick and tired of working my ass off for you thankless curs and
getting complaints over and over for how long this has been taking.  You
think I'M happy about it?!

When I first noticed that it was taking longer than I thought to do
this, I started sending orders out with next day air mail using my own
money.  That was far too expensive, so I stopped.  I've already lost
more than $400 on this, and I've still got lots of kits to ship!

A couple people were kind enough to send me thank you notes.  For those
people I'm thankful.  I appreciate it, but it hasn't made much progress
towards making this worthwhile.

If you don't believe this post, I still have all receipts and documentation.

I've finished my tirade.  Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.
