anyone know what time we should expect their WL update email
In the past it’s been around 10:00 est, idk what’s different today. Glad I’m not the only one who hasn’t got anything though, had me worried I got shadow released or something lol
When would a phone call take place?
Knowing they can call at any minute man…. I’m sick to my stomach
I doubt there are any lurking WL admits here, but I had the same question just due to work hours and possibly being unavailable by phone. I’m assuming that they’d leave a voicemail or perhaps a follow-up email, but if at all possible assuming I get a call I’d like to be there to answer it :)
