Quest for the CHL ***** COMPLETE ******

Post by cstierhoff »

Hey All,
UPDATE 2/19 - PLASTIC RECEIVED

I'm singing this to the tune of Farmer in the Dell.
I got my CHL,
I got my CHL,
Heigh-ho, the derry-o,
I got my CHL.

I smell those nachos cookin,
I smell those nachos cookin,
Heigh-ho, the derry-o,
I smell those nachos cookin.

Walmart's around the corner,
Walmart's around the corner,
Heigh-ho, the derry-o,
Walmart's around the corner.

I think you get my drift.
Se ya. I'm outa here.

3 week update- No PIN yet. UGH

I know, I know. But patients are for doctors.

When was the last time we got new magazines (the type you read) here in the waiting room.

Ditto here. Besides, you're just going to log into the DPS website every day and get frustrated at seeing
Processing Application
day after day. Trust me. I know this from experience.

Yeah. If you can limit yourself to only checking on Friday, it'll be easier (I keep reminding myself).
