The original deadline for my waiver was yesterday, September 4. So I expected to know one way or another by COB (Close of Business). I didn't.
I just keep waiting because people way above my pay grade created the deadline, so they can also amend or renegotiate the deadline.
Waiting for War is Hell.

It's 630pm and still no answer one way or the other. My wife believes "Yes" is an answer, but "No" is not. So I will have to wait till Tuesday for paperwork to resume.
