All I really wanted was a yes or no, as to doing just purchasing. But no, they had to go and waste well over 3 hours of my time (not their time) in rationale. It is funny, because the more they try to explain why they had to do it, the more I realize that it had nothing to do with me. Most of it went in one ear, out the other for me. I just couldn't care less about why they made their choice.
It didn't pass by Tracy as well though, she really hates Pro-Tec, much like what Bonzai said earlier, there was a golden era in this place, when people pulled together towards common goals. All that is left now in the abyssmal absence of Frank is conflicting agendas being run by what I could condider the worst communicators even found in recent history.
Feelings like the "pit-in-the-stomach" just weren't present when I went in there. Tom asked me the question if I am ready to make the big decision, I can now say YES. The goal is clear, and I have a lot riding on it. You can't be sure of anything, but I do know that I have a really good tendency to land square on my feet in times like these, but a little "light at the end of the tunnel" sure would help secure those thoughts.
Oh yeah, they said "no" if you didnt figure that one out, duh....
