HAR Approved

I finally cracked today after I got home from the post office again today, with no exciting news. As far as I understand, the HAR was sent to the government by ABC at the beginning of July (I signed it off and sent it to them at the end of June), so I was starting to feel like, "What is going on?" I know I can't send off the whole shabang to Imagine just yet, because I have the Notice of Assessment that will still probably take 6 weeks or so, but it's been killing me to not know. Forward progress! I need forward progress! You can probably tell that the real waiting time is going to be tough for me, but I am hoping that since I will be back to work and absorbed in teaching, that it will be bearable.
So, I called Anne Scully, and not surprising, she sounded a little put out. "Look, we're short-staffed right now, so things are taking a while." So we're clear I didn't attack her or anything, but I think I'm probably not the first person who's called. I get it, and it's even as I suspected, but I just had to know. Now I know. She's signed off on it and will mail it off when she can. Hey! That is okay by me. Obviously, I'm not in a huge rush, but it puts my mind at ease to know it is all going just fine. I didn't think there would be a problem, but it's just good to know.
Yay! A half-step forward!
