As of 3 p.m., we have received 17 bins of mail today. If we had to stack it up one on top of the other, it would be about 15-20 feet high. It is sort of like our own small-scale model of the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
In other words, it will take us several days to dig ourselves out of this immense deluge of mail (I do not think I have ever actually used the word deluge in a sentence, but it seemed to fit). So again, the word of the week is patience, as we will slowly but surely get open all of this mail, scan it into our system, and drop it into the applicant files. And remember, every reply to a call/email we have to take to answer the question “I sent X on Friday, and I wanted to check and see if it was in yet” is time lost in matching materials.
So spread the word at school and at work, be patient and let us have time to match up all of the materials. It will show up on the status check soon!
Go Dawgs!
