That deep sigh of relief was from me -- I just got my new LOA (Letter of Authorization). An LOA is the gummint version of the hall pass that allows a contractor the privilege of working in a war -- uhhhhhhhhh -- an area that does not meet OSHA requirements.
It also allows me to use the PX and the DFAC, and is supposedly the only thing I'll need to get emergency medical treatment in a military facility. Actually, the LOA is just my backup -- I get faster results flashing my "US Army Retired" ID.
Heh. "The Black Card -- don't leave home without it."
Ennyhoo, I was perusing the new LOA to make sure all the appropriate entries were appropriately entered in the appropriate entry blocks, when I noticed -- something different.
The last paragraph describes your job priority.
My old one said, "This contractor is considered as 'Key Personnel' ..."
My *new* one says, "The contractor is considered as 'Emergency Essential'..."
See ya later, kids -- I have to go practice being insufferably smug...

Hey, how was that, guys? Did I get the insufferabilitiousiness down right? Huh? Huh?
I practiced by looking at a pic of Obie standing next to Joe Biden...
I think your GA's have *always* considered you essential to an emergency, Chief...
heh

From what I hear, Boston Maggie is gracious and will forgive a resonable assumption since I was also referring to myself as the yapper.
