The artwork is closer to being done today, I just have to finish some things up and then scan it in and I'll be golden.
Since I spent a lot of time on the artwork and letter, I'm kind of beat today, maybe tomorrow I'll be more awake.

In most cases, they don't. Most often it's a form letter response, I've gotten my share of those on other issues. But I think when a serious issue like mine comes up, it gets their attention enough to respond on a more personal level.
"He piled upon the whale's white hump the sum of all the general rage and hate felt by his whole race from Adam down; and then, as if his chest had been a mortar, he burst his hot heart's shell upon it." Herman Mellville, Moby Dick. I've know for some time now that I've been chasing my white whale with this Workforce thing, and I am fully aware that if I don't stop soon, I will be my own demise. I already decided that this letter will be my last effort on the subject, I knew that back in April the moment I set the phone on it's charger after finishing that phone call. I chose to move on then, but I did make a promise to follow-up, so I shall fulfill that obligation and be done with the whole thing.
I seriously doubt the system here will change. In fact I know it won't because I couldn't identify the person who needs to be fired by name. Conveniently he wasn't wearing a name tag like he was supposed to be, no one in that office was. Every step of this whole process for me, I've had the people I turned to for help correcting the problem twist it around on me, somehow in their corrupted logic, they think the victim is to blame for the problem. Everyone who could do something with the system wants to make the problem my fault so they don't have to lift a finger to fix anything, well screw that, I don't play that way. If they want their lazy-ass, corrupt little system to ball and chain their inbred little drones to this state, they can have it.
I didn't take this fight on to improve things for other people. Why should I bear that burden alone when no one will do the same for me? I took this thing on because sitting at home all day doing nothing but tapping away on a keyboard and gawking at the TV is not paying my bills, and it's not helping me put money aside to support myself in the future. I will not feel any better knowing that someone else didn't get royally screwed over by WorkForce West Virginia, I'll feel better when I have a steady paycheck in my hands.

"Who's the more foolish, the fool, or the fool who follows him?" Ben Kenobi Star Wars (Known as Episode IV: A New Hope to younger people). I'm familiar with both Star Trek, and Star Wars (not the new trilogy however, the classics), but I can't think of a "No Win Scenario" example from Star Wars.
I found out when I got the first letter and instead of a postage stamp it had a signature printed in blue on the envelope. Curiosity lead me to research the strange way of shipping first clas mail, and I found the term "Franking" (or Franking privilege) in relation to the practice.
It certainly does sound funny to me.
