I got a personal reflection.
Before I joined this forum, I would just submit applications and forget about them. I remember I would get ghost updates and would be a bit confused, but never really paid much attention. I would just get the permits on the mail and that would be the end of it. I remember my PGWP took 7-8 months because of a strike, even then I could care less because I was working under implied status. Even now, I will pretty much keep doing the same things even if I get the PR. Of course, I understand that this is much more serious than permits, but still I feel that it's just not healthy to be obsessed like this.
Another thing is when my friend stopped smoking based on some book, the trick was not to count the days. And here we are counting every day, being depressed from others' applications advancing etc.
The moral of the story is I gotta move on. It comes when it comes, they have my email if they need me. Now I gotta find a way to blacklist this forum and immitracker everywhere..
