I never dated a Rob before but maybe he changed his name just to torment hard working graduate students. I'm trying probably too hard to come up with a name haha E1virologirl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha those men were mostly from my undergrad experience ... thank god. Now my boyfriend is a marine that is just as busy as I am so it works out perfectly. We pretty much cuddle while we are both home doing paperwork haha. So romantic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do if you change their genetics in their sleep, just kidding. I guess I found an anomaly... or he is really from another branch and is in disguise as a marine. Who knows?

I legit got to the point where I could answer like 50 applicant emails an hour at 1 pt. You just keep a google doc, copy paste, add a sentence boom.

somethingsimple Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 (edited) Asked him for a projected time and this was the response: Thanks for following up with those questions.We do not have a projected time today for the decisions to be released, and it could take as much as 24 hours for all of the email notifications to be processed. Many applicants could receive their notifications tomorrow. so looks like Rob is not a bot. Also would post a screenshot but then I'd have to go on to my computer because a screenshot on my phone has size limitations and it's a whole thing.

Like a drunkard walk, I sometimes stumble in the right direction, but I usually find myself going in circles. Usually, I can blame it on coursework, grant applications, etc. I'm not sure if 'helping make history on an internet forum' holds as much weight as those two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
