Well....nothing much to report unfortunately

Right after I wrote my initial letter, things got really hectic at work and I didn't have a chance to get in touch with HQ.
BUT..it looks like things might be slowing down a bit and I recently made my first attempt at contact with HQ! I received an out of office reply, but I'm hoping that I hear back sometime next week. I think the waiting's the worst part...
Thanks for checking up on me! Any news and I'll let you know!
