afterthought

well, i wasn't expecting gn1 not to call - i'll take that as a bad sign.

i forgot to mention something in particular with the army story that irked me today: our new SC has made a habit of returning my calls in the evening.
"if you call me back in the evening, when the rest of the army has gone home, you can't really help me."
"and what could i have done at noon?"

if he'd called me back at noon, and i could have convinced him then instead of at 9pm that he needs to make some phone calls, he could have made them already and not potentially caused yet another unnecessary delay.

his primary argument for not doing anything regarding the interview was that it doesn't make sense for them to want me if i don't want to be there. while he might be correct if the person interviewing me a) cares or b) isn't completely stupid, if neither of those conditions are met then i'm screwed.

so now he's willing to make the calls. great.
