Dear T,

This work thing is really stressing me out. I'm worried my response was a bit too defensive and I'll get fired. But I didn't mess those references up--I spent a lot of time on them trying to adhere to the style guide. I also worry I messed up H's birthday by being snippy this morning because I was stressed about this, plus D was all upset. Though if his birthday is that easily messed up...

Wish I could talk to you for a few minutes.... I imagine I'd have missed the email window this morning, so you wouldn't get back to me till tomorrow anyway, and I'll be seeing you at noon, so... And hopefully it will be resolved by then? I just hope I hear back something OK from the organization this morning. Doesn't help that with the time zone differences, it would be nighttime for the actual person who emailed me. Hopefully, my main contact, who is in my time zone, will respond this morning...

Love,
LT
