[!@#$%!]

thanks! yeah i wasn't treated like garbage, actually it was a nice meeting.

but the issue is i'm stuck with the gatekeeper who sends my request up the chain of command. even if the gatekeeper is nice i have no way to follow up what happens past them.

what i'll do is calendar a series of deadlines and recontact at those times if still unanswered.

the request is not pressing, i still have plenty of time to hearing back from them, plus it's not life-or-death. but the issue is i want to move forward with my life and i'm an impatient bastard.

SO. i'll do one by may first and then one every other week till that zit pops or i lose my shit, whichever comes first.

thanks for the ear/thoughts/help!
