11:10 -- joel comes by to make sure i saw marci's email with a decision made on the headline for the officemax B&W page. she also writes to invite me to a meeting with someone at corporate to set up the back-end functionality of the supplies lookup tool she wants on the supplies page. believing this is beyond the scope of design, i forward to debi and ask how i should respond.

11:15 -- email sent. reply to all that the OM files are still posted on our FTP site.

11:20 -- try to decipher another email from marci. i think she wants a separate meeting with joel to explain what they want on the supplies page.
