Sense Of Urgency?

I loathe depending on other people. Suppose it is a trust issue. Mostly related to my elevated sense of urgency on my projects. Prime example from today: I've been waiting on my cohorts in corporate to make two small firewall changes. It has taken them six weeks. How long did it take to wrap up the configuration changes I needed to make on my side? 15 minutes. Six weeks of pressuring them so I could do 15 minutes of work? Yeah, I got trust issues.
