Nobody is in the mood for bullshit today, Dillo. Just let it go. You aren't an employee of USMB; as Jim articulated already, stop asking for 'constant communication'. Nobody really owes you anything.

Done?

I liked when Dilbert had two big projects and couldn't do them both by the deadline, so he and asked to boss to prioritize them and he would do the more important one first. The boss told him to combine the two projects into one, and do it all.
