I should be able to leave at 4:00 p.m. Central time so pretty much exactly when this is all supposed to happen. If our places of employment only knew how intensely we are sitting here hoping to leave them...haha. Oh my gosh, that's too funny. Yes, I did the same thing - took a job and hunkered down to wait on the results. I like my job, but I still have visions of this coming through and being able to put in my two weeks. Sooo funny, ahaha. On 1/28/2014 at 9:41 PM, Tabaann said: Hopefully there will be only rejoycing, which might also freak my coworkers out. Best of luck to you as well!!! Thanks! It'll just be a few minutes now. Wow.

I am meant for more!" syndrome? That is the story of my life... PrincetonOrBust 1

I also like to travel in general, and I realized after I graduated that that's somewhat hard to do on your own. If Fulbright doesn't work out, I'll pour all my energies into finding another way to do a cool thing. What about you? What's your background? (10 minutes!) Edited January 28, 2014 by SaraBlue
zjlb79 Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Does anyone know what the subject of the email from Fulbright has been in the past few years? Is it a different subject title for people who got recommended versus not?
Nrrrdgrrrl Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 5 minutes. my hands are sweaty. i feel faint. good luck, and I'll catch you all on the flipside!

overworkedta Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 I think people have said the email is entitled something like "You Application Status" or something.
MastersHoping Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 T- 0.01 minutes until we were SUPPOSED to get the email arghhghhsa;ljf;lsajf;ljsa;ljfsa'd

You gotta think like a bureaucrat! I'm guessing 10,000 e-mails really bogs down your e-mail server so they prefer to hit send right before leaving. That way, it doesn't interrupt the rest of the work day. In the past, they've arrived over a 30-45 minute period, correct?

Guest Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 I just refreshed my email and almost died because something appeared in my spam folder. It was actual spam. That's not even fair.

And some intern is being forced to work late tonight.... holding up the "hitting of the send button" on his/her way out
alexpen Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Hmm...I feel like a bunch of adrenaline just went into my stomach and I have no release.
