Wesso1715 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Hi all, I am in the same boat as most of you guys. It is probably one of the most frustrating times in my life as I try to function on a day to day basis, keep focused but at the same time still have moments when irrational thoughts and behaviour kick in and I log on again and check...knowing that nothing has changed! I am not a control freak BUT there is nothing we can do and that is sooooooo frustrating, the wheels just don't seem to turn as fast as we need. Yes we understand backlog and workload and all of that, but I am hoping its not just me pulling my hair out! I am lucky in that I have had the nomination approved, CO has been allocated just recently, but it will still take time. I know I have only waited 7 weeks and others much longer but I just wanted to say...Chocolate and lots of it...is a great short term fix! Fingers crossed to all of us!
