Hear when calling in at 11:17am on December 12, 2007.

"Our office is currently closed, please call back between normal operating hours of 8:30am to 5:30pm Monday through Friday. We will be closed on all major Federal Holidays. Main menu. Good bye."

After a quick check of the calender, and then realizing that I get off on all major Federal holidays as well, I called back a few times, just to make sure. Sure enough, apparently Wednesday the 12th is a major Federal holiday. We can call it "The In between Thanksgiving and Christmas Day Holiday" otherwise known as the phone system malfunction day. So, friends, and everyone who will be calling State today, be aware, and happy The In between Thanksgiving and Christmas Day Holiday!!!

That or they're afraid to do actual work? After all, what are we really talking about here? Looking over paper work and saying "Gee Bosco, looks like these folks sure do love each other"

"Well Earl, I don't know, those real looking photos sure might be fakes"

"Ya think Bosco? Well, let's send em a couple of RFE's just to be on the safe side while we go outside and play"

"That's good thinkin there Earl"

So glad I did not call today. They were probably wondering what was wrong as I have called every thursday since May.... or maybe they decided they needed a break from me and took the "fruit cake" and went for a picnic. boy, bet they were suprised. Hey, whoever sent the package you'd better make sure they didn't eat it by mistake.

"Sorry we nevery received (burp) your package."

As Scarlet O'Hara said "Tomorrow is another day."

Yeah, but John McClane said "Yippie kai yay!". When dealing with the USCIS I would prefer that one : )
