This was not a good week for Recaponia. The weekend recaps never materialized, the Monday recap went up a full 24 hours late, and the Tuesday recap was conspicuously absent. Some people were swamped with other duties, some were under the weather, and some just didn't punch in for work. As a result, the recaps are a mess. It's time to clean up.

I've mentioned before, I can't stand to see work go undone. Even if it seems like a pointless endeavor, I can't rest until it's finished. After I post these weekend recaps, I'll get Tuesday's done. Later tonight, I'll put up my usual Thursday stuff. How do I have time to do four days worth of recaps? Well, I didn't start today, first of all. Second, I've been recovering from my own illness. It's nothing as serious as the the Black Death you cats contracted at PAX, but I've been taking it easy in the house all week because of it. Might as well do something to kill the time.

Let's try not to let affairs go out of control in future, k? Now, on to business!
