Yesterday, we listed places that are far away.
Now it looks as though we’ll wait for days.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Suddenly, I’m not as stressed as I used to be.
There’s no shadow hanging over me.
Oh, yesterday came suddenly.
Where we get to go, I don’t know, they wouldn’t say.
I bid somewhere strong, now I long for next Thursday.
Next Thursday, the results will be on display
Now I need a place to pass the days
Oh I believe in next Thursday.
Where we get to go, I don’t know, they wouldn’t say.

Next Thursday, is when the results are on display
Now I need a place to pass the days
Oh I believe in next Thursday.
On a more serious note: Yesterday we submitted our second tour bid list consisting of 42 positions, in 37 countries. We're told we'll get the results no later than next Thursday. The person assigning second tours tries to give priority to people currently in more difficult posts. Chennai is in the upper middle in terms of "difficult," so we should get assigned somewhere between 15th and 25th. We learned in our last bidding cycle that everyone has different priorities... so there's always a chance we'll all get our first pick (but it's highly unlikely)! Anyway, now I get a throw-back to last year (and the year before) as I reacquaint myself with my old nemesis: The Waiting Game.
