Thanks, Kat. I did hear back from Mr. A and I don't think he liked my assertiveness. But he gave me an answer.

Also, I had a long (and not particularly productive, work-wise) day today and I'm just really tired. So I'm not too worried about what Mr. A is thinking or feeling at the moment. I'm more interested in sorting through my own mind-mash.

Oldtimer, if you look at my thread, I would like to hear your thoughts. Not that there's much to comment on now, but if you can think of anything...

I'm turning in now and wishing all of you a decent night's sleep. I would say "sweet dreams" but that would just be ridiculous.

Sincerely,
Mrs. A
