Calling all bed wetters and ambulance chasers - Decemberists

Yesterday was the first day that people from the February test group could sign up for OA appointments. The appointments could be in DC or San Fran. I wanted DC in August, with August 17th as my first choice.

Sign ups began at 10am EST. At 9:55am, I was playing the refresh screen game, hoping to get in as soon as they allowed. I didn't get in until about 10:15. When I got into the system, all of the August dates were gone. According to some chatter on the Yahoo groups, it seems that there just weren't many dates in August to choose from to start. So I had to choose from July (wow, that seems soon), or September (wow, that seems distant). I went with July.

July 28th in Annex 44.

Annex 44 is the center I tested in last year. I know the center, how to get there, its rules, places to get lunch, etc. I wanted to keep things comfortable as much as I could, especially since DC in July is not the best time to walk around in a suit.
