I have been waiting for 4 months to get a radiation user license. And today I find out that although my forms were mailed to the department the day after I submitted my forms to my Radiation officer, somewhere along the line Australia post lost my forms and as a result my forms were never processed. As a result, I've been sat the last four months sat on my arse, twiddling my thumbs. Oh and I have been following up constantly as well. Every time I asked the safety officer, I was told that 8 weeks was the normal duration for the license to arrive and I should just wait since a week or two's delays were common. And now I find the forms haven't been lodged at all. I have shit loads of pressure on me to finish my project in 1 year and through no fault of my own, I have been unable to do fuckall. Now, I've got six months left to do almost the whole thing. Fuck.
