Good luck with that!
I hope it doesn’t loom over the coming holidays like an albatross.
Me too, though I would expect to hear back on it sooner. I don’t think it’ll hurt me at all, though I did have to dance around a political issue in it, so at the worst it does nothing, at the least it’ll make my new boss’ boss aware of my position, and at the best it will cement the destruction of my life-long career as an engineer. *\:^|
