As a grassroots clean energy advocate and strategic communications professional, it's a type of request I know intimately.
Thanks to a second FOIA request for the processing notes from my first request, I know that, at one point, my request was forwarded to the wrong DEA field office, where it was accidentally deleted.
"At the time of my request, I knew that the pay scale I indicated was higher than the usual pay scale for the designated position and that my wife did not meet all the requirements for the position," he said in the settlement.
Of course, the thing is that when I sat down to watch Life Is But a Dream with a bunch of other mega Bey fans (just to be clear: I own every record, have gone to every electrifying tour and know the entire "Single Ladies" dance, step for step, and will gladly perform it upon request), I knew we weren't going to get much.
"I don't want to get into the basis for the information request, but I know it has its origins in a justifiable concern about the operation of the market".
Odd request, yes, I know.
"Sir, may I make a special request?" "If I know it," he replies.
This is not an unusual request, and I know it is coming from the best intentions -- of wanting to bring light to the issues that women in technical professions face, and to attract more diversity to the field.
Not a Friend of Mine I have recently received a few Facebook friend requests from people I know professionally, whom I don't want to befriend.
So I decided to pose a question: "In the midst of chaos, how do you find peace?" I wanted to ask people from all walks of life and so I simply sent out requests, contacting people I know, and others via friends or colleagues: reaching out to people I've met during my travels.
