I think I'm getting an ulcer right about now. My HR department finally responded to the developer last Monday, and my package was then sent to "senior management" last Tuesday as per their phone call to me. So I've been in the dark for a week.

At this point, if I get put on a waitlist, I think I'll be depressed for a good six months as there aren't any other lotteries that I qualify for.

This will be me if I don't get Ashland, like literally peel me off the floor. I'm trying my best to remain positive.

I emailed the BG supervisor to check in (what can I say, I'm a glutton for punishment) of-course, crickets. I'm not surprised though, I would have been if she'd answered.

Ugh. I hope we both get it! Lets just try to stay optimistic.

By the way, 250 Ash is a gorgeous place! Really hoping and praying you get it!

Stormgal & Marshabrady

I too am a glutton for punishment and CALLED my leasing specialist just a bit ago. I feel like a desparate teen girl just refreshing my email and willing my phone to give me an answer or a phone call. Its so pathetic. I'm pretty sure my husband thinks I'm losing it. I'm usually the glass is half full kinda person and deep down still am but this has waiting has racked my normal nerves of steel. Hes remained cautiously optimistic and I just want an answer everyday. So on that note we will all be celebrating soon and that's the end of that!

Welcome to the club!! Perhaps a glass of Rose will do?

Personally I feel like I'm actually losing it. I am also refreshing my gmail screen, refreshing city data for updates and constantly looking at my phone! The last time I behaved this way was when I was going through a breakup!

Stormgal does it help any that I'm so glad I'm not alone?! hahaha YES I need some Red Red wine! Unfortuantely my husband doesn't like wine and I cant open a bottle in my current state and just leave it there haha. Ill see if he will share a beer with me tonight. We are a very wild & crazy couple if you can tell by that statement.

A girl after my own heart - I love a rose. OK, you know how the I-phone is push notifications, I had to download a new mail app that would show emails immediately. Even if it's nothing really new, I refresh city data because I actually feel better when I see new posts especially with Ashland because then I know I'm not the only one struggling. I'm gonna need a vacation but first therapy.

Well right now on this thread it feels like we are the only 3 people suffering...I guess maybe we are the only ones suffering out loud everyone else is suffering in silence. And totally agree Marshabrady we will need a drink, therapy and a vacation!
