20 days to respond

20 days.... Legal response time, and I'm sure the ( *^*(^(^%#($ will take every day of it.

Took a few phone calls, but that's the result I got from the lawyer. 20 days before we can even think about the expedited hearing. I swear 9 months ago, I said get this done quickly. 8 months ago, I was told 6 months for a lawsuit. 6 months ago, I said file the lawsuit, and they finally reported it to insurance. 1 month ago, the lawsuit was filed. Yesterday, the expedited hearing request was filed with a police officer having to be contracted to serve the request. 20 days from now, I'm sure even less will be accomplished.

On the plus side??

I have theoretically a meeting with my immediate supervisor for lunch. My presumption, he wants to try and convince me that no one has stolen money from me, and to continue to teach this summer, or something of the like. However, I didn't get a verbal request to follow the email sent shortly before the office closed today, and after I was already 90 miles from home in the town I have to teach class in on Thursdays. Then, I didn't return home to find it until 11pm. So, theoretically is the proper term.
