Hi all... I just wanted to let you all know that I have received most of your status reports, but that the deliverable deadline is fixed. Therefore, if you will not be able to make the deadline, please adjust your status report schedule to fit the deadline.

Thanks!

**Note to my co-workers. I actually DO do work after hours and so if you get an email from me late at night, it's because I actually am working.... Just saying.....
