It’s my favourite episode and I’ve watched it so many times. I’m currently watching it for the first time in a few years and something has occurred to me for the first time.

In the diner on the day the Sam tells Dean that he’s lived through like 100 different Tuesdays and knows so many versions of how the day goes, that’s the same day as he tells Doris the waitress she needs some practice at shooting because she’s a terrible shot. She asks him how he knows and he says it’s just a ‘lucky guess’ without giving a real answer. After that Sam tells Dean he’s lived through every possible Tuesday, and we know Dean dies on every one.

Is this implying that on one of those Tuesdays Doris accidentally shot Dean?

I feel like I read a few comments somewhere on here this year from people who requested a review of a decision, and when following up later was told the request had been cancelled because they’re “too busy” to do them. But they had not been notified.

Now I’m wondering if my mind is playing tricks on me. Is there anyone who has actually had this happen to either them as a participant or to participants you support as a worker? I know NDIA is understaffed and things are taking time, so I realise there’s a wait and that’s fine. If the requests being cancelled without any notification is actually happening to some people though I’d like to be aware of that so when I contact my coordinator with a few other questions I can ask for help with following up with them to make sure it’s still pending in the queue of things they have to get to, and not waiting on something they’ve decided to cancel without looking at
