I just thought I would toss the following in - in case anyone else runs into the same situation: I called G.g. about a 42 hour old submission that I had not received a VALIDATION for, and they told me to wait 48 hours. If, after 48 hours, I did not receive a VALIDATION, I could call them back. At that time they would send my case to a technician and that technician would get back to me in FOUR DAYS!! The person at the helpdesk said I had the option of submitting again after 48 hours if I did not get a VALIDATION, and I wondered to myself, "If I submit again, how will I know the same thing won't occur? I don't know if something is wrong with the package itself or if I did not receive validation because it is simply a monstrously long delay." Is "FLAT AFFECT" also a symptom of Grants.gov Disorder?
