The Waiting Place.

Congratulations!
Today is your day.
You're off to Great Places!
You're off and away!

Fans of Dr Seuss will get the reference:

"You are now entering the waiting place"
It's not everyday that I smile as I enter the evil Eastern Distributor. 

If you're not familiar with Dr Seuss' Oh, The Places You'll Go, because I know not everyone is forced to read it every night, here's an excerpt:

headed, I fear, toward a most useless place.
The Waiting Place...


...for people just waiting.
Waiting for a train to go
or a bus to come, or a plane to go
or the mail to come, or the rain to go
or the phone to ring, or the snow to snow
or waiting around for a Yes or a No
or waiting for their hair to grow.
Everyone is just waiting.

You can read the rest of the poem here.
