It will be over SOON!

[cupofjoe04]

For all those awaiting... here is my timeline. It was very helpful for me to look at other's timelines to see how wait times were trending. I fell right along in the pack of people who mailed the same week as me. They seem to be working steadily over in austin

Take heart fellow waiters... things will start happening eventually... and when they do, happiness is soon to follow!

Finally, Finally, FINALLY got it!!! Plastic in hand. 64 days. Really wasn't too bad. had a few times where I was checking the status a little more than I should. But for the most part I stayed very busy, which helped me not think about it. And it did come, no hitches. I'm good till 2017
