Slow Government Processing

We've had our fair share of dealing with the federal government as we applied, paid (a whole hell of a lot!), and waited for the Mister's immigration paperwork to be processed.  We did that loop-d-loop 3 times--first for his conditional residency, then for his permanent residency, and finally for his citizenship.
Through all these filings, we got a feel for how speedy the government is in processing stuff for it's citizens:  Not very speedy at all.

So when we applied for our passports on 9/29, we expected not to get them until November.  It was a pretty big shock when they showed up in the mail yesterday--2 1/2 weeks after we applied.  I think this may be one for the record books.
The federal government processed something in 10 business days!  Wow!
