Remember NTEK weeks, months and years are slightly different from us on earth. For instance "audits should be done in the next few weeks" "we will havely month updates" or "audits by the end of the year"

So this week could really mean next month. Monthly updates can really mean every 3 months or when they can't take being bombarded with e-mails/phone calls anymore and by the end of the year means "we didn't say what year did we?"

etc.
