sometimes you can self assign off the job board on the actual bare site just bypass presto. You can also apply for it there if its not self assign. You will get a response quicker that way most likely. You did not mention the schedulers name so no idea on if they are slow or unresponsive. Bare is usually a good responsive msc. As always YMMV.
