 Yet, I see no further action and we are still discussing 'other' issues
and topics :(

Please, let's finish this first and then worry about the rest.

Sorry again for keep nagging. Maybe I should never login and open my laptop
but I see many emails about great things but we are forgetting 'this' email
and I am asking nicely again to please, let's stick to this 'first' and
finish the roles and then, we will have all the time.

Hope you see my point!

P.S.
I miss you all by the way :(
I do hope I can sleep tonight so I can join you tomorrow :)
