It's been eight days since we were told the letter with the invite would be arriving in a week. In other words, I've had plenty of time to consider how the Federal bureaucracy works. One person makes the decision to invite us to some Peace Corps job; another writes the actual letter; yet another person or two have to sign it. Each step probably requires only a few hours. This is where the union procedures come into full play and things get fun: a day for the letter to be placed in the envelope; another day and another high-pension Federal worker to take it to the mail room; etc. And then I realized that Washington DC had been shut down by multiple feet of snow for several days. Bummer. I really wanted someone to blame.
We now pin our hopes on Tuesday.
