limbo-victim

how can you tell how many your field got?

Oh no limbo-victim, you're doomed now. You've entered the forum and there is no escape - now you will become a tweeting refreshing emailing call-center bothering zombie hopelessly repeating the same futile actions day after day, the months of monotony broken only by the few seconds of fellowship-receiving fantasy that burst into your head occasionally before you squelch them to avoid disappointment. Soon you may even be as bad as me, sitting on this forum until the most ungodly hours of the morning, with your final project for your Hurricanes seminar consisting of a Powerpoint with one slide containing a picture* of a cloud. haha- trust me I'm well past that point already- this was just a confirmation that I'm not mentally ill, and a dangerous reinforcement of my long hours of obsessing in vain... I've done next to no work for days and days and now I have five days left to write all my final papers :shock:

Hey all, just discovered this discussion a couple nights ago and its been really helpful- I'm also on that limbo list, bla. I'm kind of late with this but just to confirm, I got this reply from an email to the NSF media person: "Yes, there will be ARRA funds for NSF's GRF program. Please keep checking http://www.nsf.gov/recovery, where we will update our plans for the ARRA funds as soon as we can." which was comforting in a vague way. I've been told the HM status is considered a notable accomplishment and people do include it on their CVs. I decided to only send thank you cards/cookies at the end of this whole process- I feel bad now! I don't think doing it twice would be over the top though, you might just have to ask again in the future..
