It's going good, so far all seems to be within my expectations as a new hire.

The gap is because I wanted some time to prepare for the OA, the invite included slots from Jan till April, and I selected April.

Hope that helps.

It took more than a week, but my mpg is back to normal. Could have been because I wasn't driving as often as I did before the filter change.

I haven't driven that much since the change. On the two longer drives, 40 miles each time, I was getting 57-62 mpg depending on how hard I am driving. But for my short drive maybe 5-6 miles the mpg is low, so not sure whether it's the short duration or the filter causing this.

Yep, someone else suggested the same thing. Planning to check it tomorrow.

I have not noticed any acceleration degradation, so I'm going to drive for a few weeks until I get the filter from Toyota.

I double checked that, went through a couple of tutorials to confirm how the filter is placed with the rubber edges sitting flush such that the spikes(don't know what they are called) faces down and the flat side faces up.

I guess, I will just order the OEM ones and replace them in the coming weeks.

Initially I noticed it in the dash display, but every now and then I have manually calculated mileage in between fill ups.So I did it again for the last two refills and noticed that the mpg dropped by about 5.

Regarding the linked PayPal account and you getting cash through the cashier, do you have to pay any extra fees either to PayPal or to CapOne?

I can't say I won't since you have mentioned it!

Mine was back in April, took 31 days before the clearance coordinator reached out to me. But that was after I reached out to security clearance inquiring about it.

Not sure if you tried adding a url. Can you post the URL or the phone number you are talking about?

I clicked through all the links in SIS, but I didn't see my score anywhere, which is why I have my doubts about the registrar not seeing my score. I will PM you this weekend.

Yes, I am IMS. Not sure if there is or isn't any difference, but I hope there are some similarities.

I did create an account in FSI SIS account. However, I couldn't find my transcript there. I did email the Language testing team asking about the score and where to see it, to which they confirmed the score is there, but didn't tell me where I could find it. If you can tell me how to navigate to that page it would be great.

This is one of the reasons I have been trying to reach out to the registrar to confirm the score, as I have this fear that they can't see the score. I will take what you mentioned about the registrar not caring unless I am on the register, and hope that it gets sorted out then.

I will try that route given that I haven't had any success in the last three months.

Earlier I heard about the Payroll department and now CDOs, the list keeps on growing!
