Not to worry. I do not doubt the right path will be followed, if you need
help with this vendor qualification process let me know. Right now I am
currently in a petulant frothing rage not about vendor qualification
but about the situation in State hiring.
E.G.

The DPS IT support person who is the star of this article, who wants to
act as her own lawyer defending against embezzlement, is finally persuaded
to accept a Public Defender as council. The PD negotiates her "Nolo
Contendare" plea back back to a "Not Guilty", saving her from immediate
incarceration. Here is the payoff...
The Judge releases her on the condition she ***turn in her passport***,
as she is a ***German National***!!!
Note I have nothing against embezzling foreign nationals, but I, an
American citizen, have been dutifully applying for State positions for
about 4 years without even so much as getting interviews, yet a foreign
national, possibly a dishonest foreign national (apparently she purchased
tickets for her and her daughter to visit the Fatherland on the DPS issued
credit card...) is collecting a nice check every two weeks from the State
of Vermont. Is it just me, or is there something rotten in this system?
...not that I am bitter...
Kindest Regards,
Flint
