Monday 12/14/2009: Plastic in Hand

YEA psehorne and Tha_Veteran!! Another two through from September....how many more to go??

I just remembered this evening that everything truly horrible in my life has happened in September. I hadn't thought of it in the context of my CHL app. I lost my best friend who lived across the street from me in an ugly train accident when I was 6; lost a very dear friend in a freak accident on Friday, September 13...which so happened to be he and his wife's wedding anniversary; lost grandfather who meant the entire world to me in September; had another friend die of cancer in September.....and of course we all remember September 11. Every year, I dread the arrival of September and hold my breath until the month passes. Heck, I was even supposed to be born in September but guess I was a bit wise to the month and arrived in late August. I should have known better than to send my blasted CHL app in SEPTEMBER!!!

.. my bad..

Hang in there ES4Me

I am just cracking up. Don't let USA1 give you too hard a time! He's a great guy, but he does have that impish glint in his eye!

And to ES4Me and ExMarlboroMan as well as anyone else still waiting since September, hang in there. Hope the end is near (so to speak).

Oh I am hanging in! I am now checking the DPS website at least ten times a day. Tomorrow, I am making my phone call to friends in higher places than me to see what they can get done.

ES4Me - Make that phone call! Get em on the ball!


As for me, I had to send another letter back to TDSHS today. The DPS still hasn't even heard from them yet as far as i know now. So It looks like i may very well end up the last septemby in the waiting room, but who knows. I think it is funny how I thought I might actually have been one of the lucky ones to get plastic within the 30-60 day range.

ES4Me - Make that phone call! Get em on the ball!

I just made the call. Old friend of mine who works in my state reps office was just laughing because she knows where and who I work for. I can run a thorough background check on myself in under 5 minutes and the DPS can't get it done in a couple of months??? If this doesn't produce anything, I do have a direct link to the Gov's office and that will be my next step. I just hate to call those political chips when I might need them for something "bigger".

We'll see what shakes out......

Keep plugging away ExMarlboroMan! I am hoping Santa leaves a very nice surprise in your mailbox soon!

Amazing what "friends in high places" can accomplish. Just heard back on my status - according to my friend, I am "golden". HA! She says DPS told her my license was active and mailed on Tuesday. Amazing....a week ago yesterday they were having problems with my background check. Should be in my mailbox soon - but I am not holding my breath. Call me cynical.....

That's GREAT news ES4Me!!! Looks like you might be getting an early Christmas present after all!


Keep us updated!

[ES4Me]

Thanks guys....but I remain cynical. When it shows up in the mailbox, I will believe it. Until then, I am not holding my breath. It could show up tomorrow or Monday, it could not.

When I was talking to my friend earlier, she said she in October and November she was making calls for people who had applied in April and May. I seriously think there is someone or someones at the DPS who are doing an incredibly slipshod job of processing apps. Like I said the other day, there are those in that office who are diligently processing apps and there are those who are too occupied updating their Facebook pages and don't let work interfere with their social lives. Might be a few anti-gunners in there goofing off to deliberately muck up the works as well.
