That was a trying couple of months for this travel nerd...

Expired November 1 (no notification about expiration or the need to create a new profile or GOES going away; found out by getting rejected in TSA Pre-check line at airport; oddly, I did have Pre on the way to that destination, and that flight was three days after my GE/Pre expiration)
Applied on November 8 (classified on TTP site as a renewal, not a new application)
As of December 3, still waiting for conditional approval
Approved January 31, no interview needed
