But I don't know how much longer I can hold out. I have very little patience to begin with and the OM is making it impossible to be patient
There are many here struggling with this same thing right now. You want to know & you don't want to know.
It helps me to read some of the posts where the LBS couldn't hold out & either files themselves, or issues an ultimatum that may be met with an ending of your chances.
Many of the times, after reading them & seeing how they're now trying to undo the damage, it somehow ups the patience level.
