Have a beer, relax, and watch some basketball

Wow. From the bottom of my heart, I wish all of you the best of luck. Admittedly my anxiety for this did not hit hard until the last month or so, but I can not imagine what it would have been like without this thread of fellow applicants stressing away with me. 
Even through the negative trolling, whether you have been a frequent “poster” or just a casual reader on the forum...I truly believe those who visit sites like this, ask questions, and pester NSF/PI’s are the go-getting scientists of the future. 
It has been an honor.

Some of the stuff in this thread is ridiculous for so many reasons. So much nearly blind guessing (with so many factors involved), hype and emotions. Going through the past several pages of this thread you would think we would have had the results 10 times over. It's like some care more about the money attached to this grant than they do the research. I seriously hope none of this carries over into your research careers and scientific method. I know you have all wasted my time sucking me into thinking it will be announced early. This reminds me of people who stress so much over their grades and they miss out on life, learning and independent thinking.

Asking the important questions. That's why I love this thread.

On topic: I am predicting Friday this week. Five of the last six years have been announced between the 29th and the 1st, and while the outlier early announcement last year corresponds to the same solicitation as this year, I think we're safely out of the "early" period and can expect to go back to the pattern of the previous 5 years. Hopefully there is a maintenance announcement in the next few hours to prove me wrong!

I'm still assuming that if there's no maintenance message by tomorrow at 9pm, it's not gonna be Tuesday - though this may just be a method for me to feel some control over the arbitrary release date, lol #relatablethoright? 

If results don't come out this upcoming week, that would make this year later than any year since 2011. So here's hoping!

I want to get off NSF's Wild Ride

Oddly enough, the maintenance period did change a bit. From 10pm to 8am now..
