Dermoscan, Ordered in July, Remains Purely Theoretical

Task has now outlasted two other overdue items and one entire fiscal quarter

A dermatological scan flagged urgent on Area Man's task list has gone unscheduled for 64 days, sources confirm, having quietly missed its original July 7 due date by nearly two months. The appointment remains pinned as urgent, a designation that has so far produced no observable urgency.

Notably, actual dermatology has proceeded elsewhere: a real, human dermatologist appointment sits confirmed for Friday, September 11 at 10 a.m., booked through an entirely separate channel. Whether this satisfies the original dermoscan task, or simply runs parallel to it in a kind of medical multiverse, remains under review.

Also unresolved: a Medicina Interna consult, likewise booked for the 11th, at 3 p.m. Analysts note this gives Area Man two doctors, one day, and zero scans.

Advanced Verification Saga Enters Its Fourth Extension Request

Google's Advanced Verification team has again been asked to keep applications open for ODC Glens Falls and ODC Roanoke, with Right Idea's Shannon Kotlarz filing two separate please-hold notices in the past 48 hours. No timeline for resolution was offered by either party.

Meanwhile Nextdoor quietly charged nine separate ODC markets overnight, from $7.93 in Fort Smith to $3,429.87 in Glens Falls, suggesting the ad accounts themselves have no such patience issues.

Smile Center Ends Contract; Agency Sends Apology, Not Argument

Dr. Steven Hankins terminated the Smile Center account this week, citing a year without regular strategy check-ins. Account lead Josh Johnson responded with a full apology rather than a counteroffer; Hankins later confirmed a 'fresh start' was the preferred path, thanking the team for past work on the way out.

Juanes Hands Off Two Fresh Tickets Before Breakfast

Juanes Morales assigned Area Man to both an ODC South Central Indiana ad-spend pacing revision and an ODC Fort Smith landing page build, the latter due Friday. A separate all-client landing page audit, submitted by Area Man himself, is also on deck under Juanes's ownership — a rare case of the assignment traveling in both directions.

Wendy Circulates 'Pendientes de Esta Semana,' Title Requires No Translation

Wendy Velasquez shared a new weekly to-do document across the team Monday evening. Contents were not disclosed to this paper, though the title alone — 'This Week's Pending Items' — suggests it will not be short.

The Undone

  • Dermoscan: 64 days untended, urgent flag still lit, no appointment on the books.
  • Micro-Conversion Strategy and Norfolk negative-keyword follow-ups: both missed their August 18 due date and sat untouched for 20 days.
  • Office logos for Sebas: 63 days since last touched, quietly overdue since July 9.
  • In brighter news: the CTM insights report and MCC account cleanup remain merely 'someday' items, not yet overdue — Area Man is, for once, ahead of a deadline that hasn't arrived.

Rent, Payroll, and Antares All Clear Bancolombia in a Single Afternoon

Press 2 Digital's Bancolombia account processed a $4,276,000 rent payment, a $385,900 Compensar social-security transfer, and a $240,000 disbursement to a vendor called Antares, all within about 40 minutes Tuesday. A recurring $2,151,808 automatic transfer failed yet again — the fourth rejection notice on file this month, each one dutifully refunded by Bold.
