Listen people in Seattle, are your brains damp? That storm in the Gulf, it's become a Cat 2 hurricane, and come on shore. Am I to assume that I wasn't selected? Would you please just make the notification! Do I suck it up, accept that I'm stuck here with poor leadership, and get ready for hurricane season. Or do I get my house ready to sell? I'm scheduled for vacation starting tomorrow and all of next week - what I do kind of depends on the answer...

You notified me that the job was open. Can you get your personnel office to make the notifications? Life in limbo is not exactly a fun place to be.
