Pharmalot... Pharmalittle... Good Morning

Top of the morning to you. A sunny day is unfolding here on the Pharmalot corporate campus, where the birds are chirping, the official mascots are barking and the short people are lazily heading toward the local school houses. As for us, we are happily quaffing that mandatory cup of stimulation and bracing for another round of meetings and deadlines. We trust you can relate. To help you along, here are some tidbits from around the world. Hope your day goes well and you accomplish much...

You may write your article in the morning but I receive it , as most others, in the late afternoon and your "good morning..." routine is obsolete.

Hi Steve,

Thanks for the note. However, you can always check the Pharmalot site independently at any hour and, in doing so, notice the headlines at the start of the day. You don't have to wait for the email to arrive in your mailbox, in other words.

Moreover, as I've noted, the Pharmalittle morning post is usually updated with headlines periodically throughout each day. So I would argue that it's not obsolete by the time it arrives in your email box.

Hope this helps,

Steve, hate to break the news to you, but it's really not about you. Check your time zones. There are also others who check in the AM and PM. Leave your ego at the log in screen.
