Being stuck in waiting mode is very frustrating. Knowing that Jason could literally be home any day but that his file has still not been sent due to administrative drag is upsetting to me, to say the least. For over a week now, Jason's counselor has been trying to meet with him to finalize his file so that it can be sent to the Parole Board. Well, last Friday she had off. Then on Monday she saw him and said she would send for him on Tuesday. Tuesday came and went. Wednesday, she got pulled away from her duties to distribute food packages, as the prison is as always short-staffed. Thursday, the counselor sent for him, but the officer in his area never gave him the message to come to the counselor's office because he was too lazy to deliver the message to him. And alas here we are back at Friday when the counselor doesn't work. Apparently many people there only work 4-day weeks, and they're constantly being pulled in other directions to cover for areas where there is a staffing shortage, so basically nothing gets done or it literally takes forever.
I'm trying to be patient. Jason keeps telling me to be patient. I respond in typical fashion that I have been waiting YEARS, and that it is now just a matter of someone sending something along on his behalf that could be his ticket home. I've lost patience. I'm ready. He's ready. Let's do this already!
