Classes started on Wednesday and so inevitably, I'm helping students with logins, passwords and course registrations. This morning I had to contact a vendor (via chat) to help one of my students get logged into her course. Ugh...chatting...and waiting...
So, I head to the wonderful internet and put in all my info and start waiting in the queue - you know, the virtual waiting line. It says that I am number 3 in the queue and that the average wait is 8:22 - not great, but not bad for this time of year. So I wait, and wait, and wait...I have waiting much more than the anticipated 8:22, but somehow the average wait time has gone DOWN to 7:02. I don't know how this happens when I have been waiting, and waiting, and waiting. FINALLY, I get to chat with John and tell him all of my troubles...about 9 minutes into our chat we are spontaneously disconnected and I am re-queued!! Now, instead of actually chatting, I am FIFTH in line...fifth? I've been waiting here for a while again, my average wait time is 14:52, but of course I have waited longer. I am now third in line and I "should be connected to an agent in about 33 seconds." Hmmmm...
It makes me wonder - are there a couple kids who are waiting? A couple of boys who felt like they were in the queue...some boys who thought that their average wait time has passed? My waiting is so very inconsequential compared to our future children. I wish I could speed up the process, but I do not know how to do that.
People have been asking where we are in our process and all I can say is that we are fundraising. I feel like I should have a better answer, but at this point, that's what we do, wait and raise money. I pray for God's timing in this whole process, I pray that our children do not feel like they have been re-queued.
BTW - I have been waiting in my queue as I type this...my average wait is now 10:58. :)
Since it's God's perfect timing...right when your boys are ready, you will be there with your arms open wide! Love you!
