FINALLY!!!! Some information that actually makes some sense! Although an unanswered question would be why he was taking vacation after EID when he had some unfinished work to get done. But that will have to wait for his performance review!
Anyway, thank you Anitha for your informative posts. They are most welcome by all, except maybe Honeymooner, but I really shouldn't speak for him. So I retract that statement.
In the mean time, I shall restrain my enthusiasm and wait to hear from management the latest news. I shall not get excited until the DA is signed.
