While I normally like to think of Ryan and myself as hard-working, motivated people, there are some times when I'd really prefer to be just average (even below average).
Like when it comes to getting a referral.
According to this, the average number of days between waitlist to referral for a boy is 92 (for our agency). As of today, we have been waiting 108 days. This is not exactly the type of thing I was hoping to be "above average" at. And please, please, please don't let me break any records.
:(
ps - even though I'm not loving the numbers, I do love that Jared actually took the time to figure this out!

What can I say? We are both over-achievers!
Average wait for a girl: 121 days.
My present wait: 129 days.
We can excell together!
i would be happy to be below-average.
I'm sorry you're above average. Please don't set any records. That would mean the average would go up and where would I be?
Keeping my fingers crossed for next week for you guys.
Jan
Analyzing is right up Jareds' alley...I love to speculate. I am not sure which is better! Keep the faith!
OK, it's got to be any day now. I'm officially overchecking your blog starting tuesday! :) Can't wait!
