   Hey! I emailed Ms. D and HR, and she told me to not freak out that I wasn't starting with everyone. She said they are checking daily for my results, and will call me about my start date. May I ask how everything is going? Is there 7 of you guys? What...

   I haven't been told anything. Ms. D told me to keep in touch with her, but my drug screen still hasn't cleared. If we HAVE to start Monday, I don't think I will make it even if I get my official letter by tomorrow. I don't know if I can drive non-sto...

   She was not happy that I hadn't gotten my physical yet. Had to explain that HR was giving me the run-around. She set everything up in 30 minutes, and said if I had anymore trouble to not hesitate to contact her. *pheww* Things are finally moving!

   Thanks so much! Yes, I was thinking I should contact her again. Will give her a call tomorrow; I hope she doesn't tell me to contact HR.. LOL. I think we should get our official offers by the end of the month. Hopefully we start mid-September latest

   I ask because the VA in my city won't give me a physical unless the VA in DC sponsors me. I keep getting the run-around from Mr. Service in HR. Who did you talk to at the DC VA to give you a courtesy occupational health physical?
