I'm sorry, what...?

So as the weeks went by and I didn't hear from Disney, I began to get really disillusioned.  Every time I checked the DisBoards I saw people getting accepted.... 3 weeks after they applied.... 5 days after they applied!! And yet as I continually checked my inbox and my spam folder, I received nothing.  I refused to call and ask, because I didn't want to seem a nuisance, and imagined them making some sort of negative notation in my file.  However, frustration finally got the better of me and on November 4th, I called up. It was getting close to registering for Spring semester, and I was going to have to make some big decisions.  I called up Recruiting and immediately laid on the charm, asking if I could just get an inkling of what my results might be.  The nice guy asked me when the last time I had received anything from them, and I said, "September 13th, the day I got my pending letter."  He put me on hold, and a few minutes later a really nice lady came on the line and said, "Hi, Amanda! So you haven't received anything from us since September?" I confirmed and she said, "well I have some good news and some bad news.  It turns out you were extended an offer, but unfortunately enough time has gone by that they rescinded the offer."  Turns out, they had accepted me back on October 4th, exactly a month ago!! I never received anything in either email or in my real mail box (I swear, I think Newman is my mailman....)  I kind of had a mini-panic attack. Here I had been waiting for months, picturing myself at DW, and now it may have slipped through.  She explained that they were going to look into it, and check to see if there was still a position available to offer me.  (I would find out later that one person makes all the decisions for cases like this, and they had to analyze how many people had accepted, and how many invites were still out).  Luckily, my recruiter was REALLY patient, as I called her every other day to check on my status, and on November 11th I got the good news that my offer had been re-extended.  I was officially a Photopass member for Spring Advantage 2011! At this moment, I'm still waiting for tech to send me back an email so I can officially accept the position and pick my arrival date.  If I don't hear anything by Thursday, I'm to call my recruiter back and she'll check into it.  But she said the position is officially mine! :)  So once again, I am waiting on an email and staring suspiciously at my mailman.....
