:Last year I decided not to stay up, but my (then) partner who worked nights was going to call me if and only if I got it. So, checking the website and seeing my name, I was called in the middle of the ******* night. So I wake up, heart racing at the possibility of a HUGE raise and scientific freedom, but like the pessimist I am at any hour of the day I said "read to me the exact status you see. Is it Awarded or Honorable Mention?", "Honorable Mention, that means you won right?".... Let this be a lesson folks, if you're going to have someone disturb your precious sleep to tell you good news, make sure they know exactly what they are and are not supposed to call you for. Don't get me wrong, I'm super honored to have gotten an HM but I also really really love sleep.
If nothing else I hope this provided a laugh in this time of stress, best of luck to everyone tonight in both the NSF outcomes and in getting some sleep at some point!
