Good, at least someone who starts drafting a plan.
Why havent you send this mail a week ago?

If i didnt knew you better, i would think you try to insult me here.
First, i cannot take off, even a day, on such a short notice.
And even if i could, i would not waste any of my precious vacation days
for this, especially not after you have wasted a full week bitching and
moaning instead of doing something.
But, i can give you the phone number of my superior, i'm sure he'd
happily give you a quote on how much it would cost you to borrow me
for a day or two.

Err, what please?
The only ones who are dragging this are you guys, not me.
I provided everything requested as fast as i could. It is just
that NOBODY requested ANYTHING!

No. But i start to consider to talk to my lawyer about a certain
guy in Vienna who tries to dirty my name publicly.

Again, nobody asked for any information. You could have done it, but
you didnt. Don't blame me for it.
