I really appreciate all the great advice in these replies, everyone! It is helpful to know that it's ok to cut the chat and just get into it. I almost feel compelled to be a little chatty for the sake of courtesy and politeness, but it's really great to know that it's also OK to just belt it out.
I have the different docs memorized fairly well, as to what they are and where to sign, by this point. I always felt like I would come off as cold and uncaring as to the individuals on the other side of the table.
I now have a clearer goal to work towards.
Thanks a lot, everyone! |
