How about realising that I'm not perfect, and sometimes need reminding
(*after* a reasonable period of about a week or so)?
Rather than just saying "I submitted this, got ignored and gave up" ?
It's a bit like putting a slip of paper in a secretaries tray from your
doctor requesting another appointment in 4 weeks time. You wait and
wait for notification, which never comes.
What do you do? Do you give up? Or do you wait a reasonable time
before telephoning the secretary to find out what's happening?
Guess what I did this morning? I telephoned the secretary to find
out what was happening. Result is I now have an appointment. I didn't
give up.
This is no different. People forget things. Things get mislayed.
People have to be constantly hastled to do anything. That's life.
