Tap tap, busy signal, tap, tap tap, busy signal, tap. All freakin' day. In total, I made well over 3,000 calls. Yes, really. I kept track. So at 13 minutes till 5, I got through again. Then was on hold for 2 1/2 hours. I was resigned to keeping the line open all night, when I heard a voice. She took my contact info and asked if it would be OK to call as early as 6 am. Sure, why not?

So I got up before 6. They never called. I really, really don't want to have multiple days of this... sigh.

Oh! And then today I get an email back (in response to one I wrote awhile back letting them know I didn't have a cid# and needed it to check the address they had for me on file.) They wrote back saying to write to them with my cid#, so they could verify my case. SMH!! I wrote to tell you that I don't have one!! That was the very POINT of my email! WTH?
Sorry, Innerzone. What flail. We are having this in Oregon, too. System totally overwhelmed. At least you are in contact with someone by email. I hope you can make some progress soon.

Hang in there.
