backwards, backwards, backwards
This is the bane of my existence every day; this image is appropriately titled "nail biter" on my computer.
I've never had that hard of a time getting a hold of the medical office before, and I realize they're very busy and I have been patient. But I faxed all of the additional paperwork that I THINK is what they needed from to me take the hold off my account over two weeks ago. I've left voicemails with several people. I've waited more than the 48 hours they ask before you call again in between calls. Still, no calls. Nothing. Can someone PLEASE tell me if I've jumped through all the hoops they asked me to or should I jump through some more? I will if that's what it takes but it's hard when you're in the dark like I am right now.
I know I'm not alone in the frustration of applying and becoming medically cleared, I just don't know how often an applicant gets an invitation before medical clearance. I just don't want to lose an assignment for the third time.
The good news is, I got a hold of the dental office. They haven't received the returned file I mailed back to them last week yet, but snail mail is very slow from Seattle to Washington DC. At least I know that's all they needed from me and got some reassurance.
In other news, I need to update my resume and my write my aspiration statement (about what I hope to accomplish during service, etc.) today. I've been putting it off because of the complications with my application. I don't want to get to attached to this assignment if it's not 100% for sure, but I guess I don't have much of a choice. I'm going to have to take a leap of faith here.
I completely understand that many of the most rewarding things in life don't come easily. You have to work for them. So I am, and I have, and even if I get a little whiny about it sometimes, I know all of my hard work and patience will pay off in the end. I just hope this IS the end, I don't want a fourth assignment! I want this one. So I might as well blog about it, right?

hey lady,
how is all your backward-ness shaping up?
i got a dental hold as well (my work was done a year ago and expired) but will hopefully be all done tomorrow. fingers crossed.
i hope you get everything all fixed up! keep us updated!
I was finally cleared! Suuuuchhhh a relief. I've heard that happens with the dental portion, kind of silly but I'm sure it'll work out. How are you doing with packing?
