Yesterday, we thought we’d hear back on this Very Important Contract that we’ve been working on bidding over the last month by lunchtime.

Yesterday came and went with no word.

Today has come and gone with no word as well.

I agree with my boss when he says, “We have to still be in the game. If we were so far out in left field that they didn’t take us seriously, they would call us up and laugh at us.” And I’m sure that he’s right, given the nature of the thing. [I'm not sure if there's even another bidder.]

But man … waiting on stuff like this will drive you nuts.

It’s a wonder that I have fingernails left at this point.
