Urban Purgatory 

The place you go when Urban Dictionary sends you emails saying that 2 or 3 of your definitions have been accepted and will appear on the site within the next few days, and then more than a month or two later you're still waiting to see them published.

Jake: Hey, man, didn't you say you were gonna be on Urban Dictionary? Man, I check it every day and I haven't seen your shit yet!

Bill: I know, dog! Guess I'm in whatcha might call Urban Purgatory!

professional purgatory 

Experienced largely during a person's mid-twenties, denoting a period of a person's professional life where they feel they are pointlessly clocking in and clocking out, endlessly over what is viewed as an infinite length of time.

"I'm stuck in professional purgatory, Sue - however many jobs I apply for, I still have the cold sweat of having to wakeup tomorrow to do the same job that I hate, day in, day out"

"I'm so glad to have escaped professional purgatory; I've finally got a job where people give me a real wage, real responsibility and a sense of worth!!"

hair purgatory 

The state of boredom, dislike, or displeasure a person experiences in between periods of changing their hair color, cut, or style. Can be used to describe the uncomfortable "grow-out" wait after a bad haircut, or recovery time after a damaging dye job.

I've been in hair purgatory ever since that stylist butchered my hair cut.
