It's hard to find any sympathy in my home for the pain I feel waiting for my CHL.
Wife laughs when she sees me checking my application status while on the porcelain throne.
I feel like my kids don't respect me anymore since their friends dads have it already.
The finer things in life like beer or pork rinds have lost all flavor.
I get so angry when I open my wallet and see my stupid drivers license...why am I so different!!!
I've been doing my best to amass some good karma like avoiding running over squirrels or turtles, I've actually told my kids I love them, I even told the emo cashier at Wal-Mart she looked beautiful today and even that isn't enough to gain brownie points from the TxDPS folks.

Thank you for allowing me to open up, it's not easy for me to do this....now if you will excuse me I am off to watch Ellen.

Don't forget to record The View....I think they have some cool skit on knitting.



Disclaimer: I have know idea what is playing on The View and if by chance they did have some skit on knitting.....it was pure coincidence. Now, I digress.

I woke up at 6 a.m. today to check my status and saw nothing....as I walked in my fluffy slippers to the restroom to prepare for another long day I wondered to myself, who did I tick off at TxDPS.
I've been trying to figure out why it was taking so long...were they using MS Access 97 to gather my information, was there some sort of severe weather in Austin that kept these folks from working or was my case being handled by someone who went on maternity leave....I just don't get it.

Then after prepping myself and making sure my skin was properly moisturized, I took one more look before leaving my home and saw this...

I had just checked about 30 minutes ago with no update and then this.
I am on day 44 I believe and I finally got an update.

I can feel my manhood returning slowly today...the swelling in my ankles is almost gone, the tenderness under my armpits is less...I don't feel bloated!!!!!!!!

If you think I'm bad online, imagine what my wife has to put up with every day.

I can't wait for it to arrive, I'm so gitty right now!!

Awesome! Congrats!

Finally received it in the mail today!
Was bummed out Mon and Tues that nothing came in but today it was in there along with a whole mess of bills.

Hello World,

Just to give another update and some feedback.
Yesterday (April 10th) I checked my account status around 6:30 a.m. and finally saw an update even though I had checked at 6 a.m.
Today I woke up and checked at 6 a.m. and saw the same message as the day prior but then at 6:20 a.m. my status was updated from "Manufacturing Pending" to "Mailed".
As a previous poster mentioned in another post, I believe they are only updating the site once a day in the earlier hours starting around 6 a.m.
It sounds to me like they have some sort of scheduled batch job that compiles all of the previous days work and updates each account accordingly.
What is odd is that I never received an update to my account until April 10th and now on the 11th it shows mailed.
It might be that during the review process of each application in their system, there has to be some sort of check box that has to be manually clicked on, in order for it to show status updates.
Could be that it's a step that's being overlooked since they have so many applications to complete but it's something that should be easy to fix if they can get the right programmer(TxDPS programmer guy don't get mad)....just sayin.
I also believe that during the printing process, whoever is doing it, that person does some sort of quality control and reviews the applicants details before printing the card out and notices that maybe this check box isn't checked and does it then which would explain why the sudden update at the last minute.

Anyways, I'll let you guys know when it actually arrives but my gut tells me that all completed licenses are mailed out on Friday's in bulk.

To late, it's recorded forever and you can never run from this...I hope you don't plan on running for office because this will cause you to lose.
Now if you will excuse me, I am off to have my chai tea.
