maybe today? ?

[theLongestLurker]

Long time lurker here been following this thread for a while now.  Will no notification yesterday could that just be the DoD selecting awardees and now sysplus has 14 days more to notify us.  Sorry for the possible bad news.

I vote someone who’s previously been in contact with him.

Also, hi again everyone. Looking forward to doing this for another day. Maybe this is our opportunity to hit 2000 posts. ?

Also, I forgot that this happened - I made an account two years ago but didn't actually apply and just found the email that they sent notifying me of the "award status." It was administered by STI-Tec but that email came on April 13 at 4:39am PST. So it was pretty late that year.

Also, not that this really matters but there might be multiple PMOs because I've had emails from Sysplus signed by a Thomas P. Martinson and Kenneth Davis in addition to Rob Ross. I think they were either late putting the application online or I was antzy then so I emailed them back in August and Kenneth's signature says PMO. Or their jobs have changed.

@somethingsimple I appreciate you

[somethingsimple]

It's the final countdown, y'all. Also Rob is the real MVP for responding so quickly.

Although I'm sensing some non-commitment with his verbiage "anticipates." Jfc

And so it begins..

Rob talking to his coworkers like

[GIIC]

Is it at all possible that Mr. Ross is a bot? I just emailed him and he also got back to me saying that...he’s just too good at his job to be real right now.

I would like this but ran out of reactions.

I imagine when you are getting the same email multiple times a day you start to just copy and paste (at least that's what I would do)

With the number of emails he's gotten from us in the past week, he probably set up an auto-reply haha

or he's a robot

or he's just attached at the hip to his email

I suspect he’s desperately checking his email for award confirmations from the DoD branches, just like us.

Ok Rob, we heard this story yesterday. Y'all know how 1 dog year = 7 human years, I'm beginning to think 1 NDSEG day = 1 normal human month. ? I thought that some of the men I went on dates with in the past were pros at leading me on, but Rob they could learn a thing or two from you. (Just kidding I bet Rob is a lovely man)

Ooooh this is getting spicy now. New MTV series? haha. I never dated a Rob before but maybe he changed his name just to torment hard working graduate students.
