another small step forward

[winterbadger]

Got a call from my former shrink yesterday. The security investigator did not find the summary of my case that she sent him, rather than sending him the entire case file as he requested, to be sufficient to his needs and has requested again that she send him a copy of the case file. Which, thank heavens, she has finally done (last time she was threatening to make me come and get it and send it on myself, which the investigator would not have liked, since I could theoretically have removed items I didn't want revealed.) Lady, I've been through this before; just do what I ask, instead of making trouble for me. That's, I think, a month at least that my clearance has been delayed, thanks to her.

"What do you do, that they need to do such a lot of investigation?" Dearie, if I told you what secret work I do, it would hardly be secret, now would it? Sheesh!

Well, as with any business email account, the messages you send me here *could* be read. I doubt they are; we have barely enough IT staff to keep up with getting PCs set up for new hires.

As far as anything else goes *shrug* It's conceiveable, I suppose, but from what I've heard and seen, they have barely enough people to get half of the actual interviews of character references and checks on former residences done. They seem only to have started working again on the BIs for half a dozen of us (who all got polygraphed, which is supposed to be the last step before adjuducation, in September) because a senior manager in our program got his opposite number int he government to start chewing some asses. "We need these people to work, and they can't do work until they're cleared!"

Most of these guys are retirees from a law enforcement or military branch who can barely work a laptop. Believe me, unless I were someone much more interesting and important than I am, no one has the *time* to read my email.
