no departure date

Well, they want me to work stateside for a week or two before I head over. The only problem is that this had to go through the whole process, again, for approval. It sounds like it's approved but I STILL don't have a written agreement with these guys.

Last week they sent me tickets to lDC for today on a 10am flight, one day there for DoD training, and then to Frankfurt, Amman, and Baghdad ... and then last week they said no to get on the plane as they have to sort out this new round of approvals.

I'm supposed to talk with the the project manager today and hopefully get resolution to all of this, but I'm becoming increasingly less hopefull that they'll make this happen in a reasonable timeframe. Let me put it this way: I'll need a new notebook computer to be able to stay product while I'm there -- I haven't bought one yet.
