What I Did While Waiting for Registration

  1. 8am log into the lobby knowing it will be a long hour wait
  2. Watch the blue circle spin
  3. Listen to my audiobook – Ancillary Justice some more – really enjoying this one.
  4. Play an game of League of Legends – my latest main is Nami. I like her heals but she does ZERO damage
  5. 9am and the message shifts from the message I've been staring at for and hour to something about them grouping people so they can be let into registration in batches.
  6. Watch the blue circle spin
  7. Make sure I've got all my registration information ready – member ID, password, credit card information – I already did this before entering the lobby at 8am, but I'm doing it again.
  8. Checked my Clash of Clans status – we are in a clan war, actually the war just started about the same time registration started. Unfortunately, I am only a war spectator and not a participant. Now they're moving customers into their registration sessions…watch the blue circle.
  9. Someone just got a 3 star in our CoC war – yippie!
  10. Wondering if there is a sound associated with being able to start purchasing tickets…I think not, but that would make things so much nicer I wouldn't have to stare at the blue circle, I could wait till I heard a chime or something.

Then I got a call from a co-worker…They were in…They got me a ticket to preview night – I was set for the whole con – wohoo!!!!

My sessions were still displaying a spinning blue circle…
Oh, but Preview Night was now sold out…it was 9:25 – tickets go so fast.
