October 28, 1993

We got a package from Graphic Chemical on this day, with 24 cans of ultramarine blue etching ink. That is far more than we could want or need. Turned out that when Linn (who took over the print assistant job from me) was ordering the ink, at first she wrote 2 cans on the requisition form, then crossed it out and wrote 4 next to it. When someone from our department office processed the form, she read the number as 24, and put through the order. We later arranged to return the extra 20 cans of ink.
