That they'd tried to fit me in for April, but all dates are taken. That they'll try and fit me in for May.

Hhhmmm, how could they say that? They knew April was fully booked since Mid-March. I hate when these operators gives us wrong info. Damn! just say the truth.

I hope we both get our interview in May. Have you checked the appointment schedule for Mumbai? April has been posted since March 18th,

http://mumbai.usconsulate.gov/interview_appt_schedule.html whereas New Delhi was posted today -had high hopes thinking that I could be on that list, but nope.

I ate too much food for lunch. I am too drowsy to work right now.

Everyone at work has entered the mega millions lottery which is now at $550 million. Everyone except me. I don't really play lotteries. Everyone is talking about how I will be the only one in the office on Monday. Well I will let them enjoy their weekends and on Monday we will see if they are still as happy and jovial as today.

For me, when my wife has the visa in hand, that would be the lottery win. Scracth that, when she is finally here then we will celebrate after all POE is complete.
