southpacific Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Every single time the email alert on my phone goes off my heart does a little back flip. Curse you list serve emails! THIS. oh my god, damn you American College of Healthcare Executives, I do not care to know at this time that your monthly newsletter is available. On a side note, I was going to grab a sixpack on my way home from work but then my phone died as I was leaving the office and I couldn't handle not checking my email for that long, so I am now at home sans alcohol. But I have netflix, so....gah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jahanzlik Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Do you think if you log into your application it will have anything different on it by now, if they have already decided? Nope, already checked! Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pbo Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Probably. I'm going to sit at my desk for maybe 10 more min. before I head home. Maybe the email will come sometime during my 1.5 hour commute! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here'sHopin'! Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I sure hope some of us hear tonight To answer some questions- we've thought only a few times about if we both get it, because the second we say that what if outloud we realize how low the chances would be for that to happen in the first place. So, we haven't worried or talked about it really. I'm giving up worrying until tomorrow around 8. 7-7:30 is still game for me. And we are very certain about it being by the end of the day Friday. Someone's FPA did say some would find out today, and others tomorrow, but not everyone's. I don't know how the FPA's get their info...some seem like they are in the know, while others don't seem to give anyone a hint. I'm applying at large, so I just gather what I can on here.

Let us dissect the connotations of "very" 5 minutes? 1 hour? 12 hours? 24? Several years ago they heard at 9am.. I think 09...
