I'll have to come back for a proper response, but I just wanted to vent about the latest discouraging development.

I heard back from the guy. He ignored my request for a meeting scheduled 1-2 weeks out and sent a bunch of details about his schedule for next week - but the meeting is supposed to be with a bunch of people, including some from overseas. He's going to arrange a meeting today for Monday when he hasn't been able to arrange one with a week notice 3x so far?

The only comment he had on the rest of my carefully worded email was that everything should be on the table.

I think I need to be done. I've wasted far too much time and energy on this. I am just picturing working with someone like this, even as a peer, and it's making me unhappy.
