shaydlip Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 Someone else should check and make sure they get the same response as me...and ask what time! Very soon can mean today, or the next couple of days...
jeeves Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 Just spoke with NSF..."results will be posted very soon"..."via email"...!!! I love it! Very soon could me anything from the next 10 minutes to Friday evening...
superchuchubu Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 Yeah, it could, but it seemed like she meant within the hour...but someone else check!!
tensor Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 VERY soon? I wonder what that means in NSF terms. Next week?
pilgrim Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 Just called, the guy said that he does not know. I told him that I had heard that they would be announced today, and asked if he could confirm that and he did not say anything. I thought i got disconnected, but he was still there. I asked him again and he got quiet again. I then said can you verify that they will be announced today, and he still did not respond. I think it may be today!
jeeves Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 Yeah, it could, but it seemed like she meant within the hour...but someone else check!! I'm not gonna bother the call center... but gosh I hope you are correct...
tensor Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 Yeah, it could, but it seemed like she meant within the hour...but someone else check!! within an hour.... Im gonna pass out. :shock:
cyclopeaneye Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 Just spoke with NSF..."results will be posted very soon"..."via email"...!!! You know that feeling when you have a date with a girl (or guy), and you really excited about it and you look forward to it all week, but then when the time comes and you are standing outside their door about to ring the bell, all you want to do is run away screaming? That's how I feel right now. Assuming this information is accurate: Good luck everyone!
pilgrim Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 someone else call and pressure them into answering. use coercive tactics
spanglish Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 someone else call and pressure them into answering. use coercive tactics Do you really think that this will get us anywhere? And if you think it's such a good idea, then you ought to do it yourself.
jeeves Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 someone else call and pressure them into answering. use coercive tactics What will that solve? We could just wait an hour and see what happens...
MaximKat Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 You're psychologists, right? Use your mad skillz, then
Moxie Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 Just called, the guy said that he does not know. I told him that I had heard that they would be announced today, and asked if he could confirm that and he did not say anything. I thought i got disconnected, but he was still there. I asked him again and he got quiet again. I then said can you verify that they will be announced today, and he still did not respond. I think it may be today! I wonder how these call center people are briefed? It sounds like this guy didn't know what the hell was going on... Unfortunately, I don't think 'very soon' is any more specific than 'early April'...
cyclopeaneye Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 What will that solve? We could just wait an hour and see what happens... Waiting is for chumps! Bum Rush on the Call Center! Call and Coerce! Use your sexuality! Seduce as necessary!
jeeves Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 Use your sexuality! Seduce as necessary! This will not help our cause- trust me on this one...
cyclopeaneye Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 This will not help our cause- trust me on this one... You and I may be working for different causes.... :wink:
jeeves Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 You and I may be working for different causes.... :wink: touche...
shaydlip Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 Waiting is for chumps! Bum Rush on the Call Center! Call and Coerce! Use your sexuality! Seduce as necessary! Awesome.
redeye Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 within an hour.... Im gonna pass out. :shock: ...but I've been fooled so many times before...why is this any different?
Moxie Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 ...but I've been fooled so many times before...why is this any different? ...and this post hasn't even hit 100 pages yet. Get typing everyone....
shaydlip Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 ...but I've been fooled so many times before...why is this any different? When were you fooled before?
tensor Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 Anybody else call NSF? By the way, for those who called, thanks guys, and thanks for updating us all!!!
redeye Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 When were you fooled before? "Guys, guys...the website is down, they're uploading the results!!", "Everyone! I just saw my review sheets!!", "Departments already have a list of the winners!!", "We called and they said SOON!!!"
GorakTheTerrible Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 Yeah....my sexuality will help absolutely nuffin. I do make a mean chicken piccata though....can I assume that GRFP officials, like grad students, can be bribed into just about anything with free food?
sam45 Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 "Guys, guys...the website is down, they're uploading the results!!", "Everyone! I just saw my review sheets!!", "Departments already have a list of the winners!!", "We called and they said SOON!!!" LOL
