Yeah, but I'm still not buying that the folks who tweeted that are anything knowledgeable in the NSF. Hell, I can set up an account that says I'm GRFP if I wanted to. Or maybe I'm just being overly optimistic that someone in an official capacity wouldn't threaten folks with trolling.

So I had to call, I haven't called in weeks. The woman on the phone sounded terribly weary - even said that they are as anxious as all of us to get this over with. All she could tell me was that the NSF has not given them any time frame (after she told me one week, and I politely reminded her that it said one week last Tuesday, and two weeks five weeks ago), but that they hope that this is posted by early next week. So I don't know anything more than I did a few minutes ago, really.

I vote we let them know who we are, that we've been actively working on determining our fate, and because of that they should let us have an award. Okay, so it's a little weird, but if it works ....

Then I'm in trouble, because last year they awarded 10 in my discipline and this year they awarded 12. :::sigh:::

LOL ... but that would make this groundhog day, wouldn't it?

"GRFP will be unavailable on Sunday May 17th from 12:00 AM - 8:00 AM ET for scheduled system maintenance. Sorry for the inconvenience." Okay, is this it finally it? Or is this routine maintenance?

For me, the big race is between the NSF and a bone I broke the first weekend in April. If all goes as expected, my doctor will find that the bone has healed when I go in on Wednesday 5/20.

Thanks for the updates!

:::snicker:::: I did not dream about this last night. Call them nightmares, I guess. :?

So very glad I went to bed early last night.

A few more minutes and I'm off to bed. How many times can we be played?

And how sad is it when you keep checking your spam filter to make sure one more time the email isn't there? LOL

I don't either. I am about to head off to sleep, but I just can't seem to pry my fingers off the refresh button.

My ulcers are over for this season ... I'm a Sabres fan. They stunk once again this year. I can gleefully cheer for other teams.

caffeinated is good.

Me either ... looks like the stupid site is still up. I am thinking we've been duped once again.

Love Chicago ... Patrick Kane is from my hometown, and I followed Brian Campbell from his Sabres days.

I think it was a hallucination. really. The site is still live.

Well, since Ovetchkin's out, I am going to root for the Canes.

That's what i'm afraid of, that they changed their mind about doing whatever they're doing tonight on the site. So I am also waiting to see .... just in case

So, does anyone know how the two seventh game hockey series are going?

Exactly. We've had enough false alarms by folks posting on this forum that I don't believe ANYTHING until I see the email, which I haven't.

Yeah, it's kind of sad, isn't it? :::wanders off whistling "despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage ...::::

I never saw it to begin with, just saw the note about it here. After all this waiting, nothing would surprise me anymore ... .except maybe getting an award

I wonder if they'll consider begging, groveling and pleading as a factor. If so, I'm all over that.
