Protip: The "smarmy self-entitled prick" thing is a reference to an absurd exchange that occurred on this thread a couple days ago. Nobody thinks you are a self-entitled prick. You might be smarmy, but thats only becuase I'm not entirely clear on what that word means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSi_light Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 The calls feel helpful, but I don't think they are. Lets face it, no one is getting any actual information. I'd like to point out (although it was pointed out before) that if you read the 2008 forum, people were calling the NSF and being told it would be "a few days" because they had to finalize the list -- while other people could log in and accept their award. The same calls/convos were still going on after someone posted the correct list of winners on this forum. Therefore, calling really does nothing (and yes I'm not even close to being the first person to say this). Instead lets keep posting funny videos and submitting to PhD comics the idea of using the humor of this waiting process for a cartoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LockeOak Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Well, on the bright side today I received $100 for a grant proposal I wrote a couple of weeks ago. Of course, I asked for $250. (Yes, funding is to the point where I have to write extremely small grant requests for glassware, plastic tubing, etc.) Let's hope the streak continues.

randomloginname Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 I just wanted to say that I exactly understand the running away screaming when the hot date rings the doorbell feeling. Whenever I am execting news like this, I refresh about, oh say, roughly, a bazillion times per nanosecond, then when it finally arives, I have to leave before I can read it. Then myabe calm down, come back, double click to open it, leave again, then come back to finally read it If its swimming, I will jump in all at once, get it over with, with this kinda thing.....not so much.

Thou wilt burn for two, nay, three eternities in the fires of hell if thou speaketh more. Forsooth! Thou art verily the greatest of the fools who doth live here!
