I could have been done in three days if my boss and the DBA hadn't ignored me.

May be you can just go ahead do it? Will that risk your job?

I was wondering that too. Can you at least start or somewhat finish the project so you have something to show for?

at my company, you can't do anything but feasibility until there's an approved statement of work. And this is even though we're under retainer.

my boss reacted to the threatening tone of the message from the client by saying he'd call me as soon as he was done with his online meeting. That was 2 hours ago.

since this work product affects our future work andmore importantlyFederal funding to the client, I want him to direct me.

ha ha, double dashes = strikeout font.

I just don't understand. All we have to do is not screw this up, and the client will hire us. Why is my boss so intent on screwing this up? Not performing badly, but actually screwing this up?!

Gotta love the corporate mentality

we finally had the meeting, and he approved the method I advocated last Tuesday.
