Argh, f%$k it...I really want this to be over, whatever the outcome. Cruel ESRC people..

well, well....good luck everyone!!!I doubt I can do any work today, other than checking emails!

It seems like it will definitely be Monday, so try to enjoy the weekend with the thought that on Monday we shall know!

Nothing from me either...it looks like it won't be over until Monday...

Argh..so friday will be big anxiety day, checking email constantly...
As to previosu post, for me it's ESRC or nothing. I'm on my first MPhil year, but unless I get funded with a +3 I'll probably give up...I've decided not to enter my 30s poorer than in my 20s...the sad state of research these days..

Oh, I will do - just not what you really want to do on your hols!! And I wanted it over and done with before I went away. Just knowing that the result is on a desk, unopened, with my future decided........[/quote]

But even if your Nom Con is away there should be someone available at the office, I would assume? So whenever results start to come out next week you could always contact them and ask them to open the damn letter!!!

The whole process is so depressing..such a long process, for a handful of places...

oh well, at least we can psotpone this obsession til monday..

(up)!!

well, i guess whenever the first person has any news..i'm gonna be very optimist and go for tomorrow, 4th, although I can already feel I'm wrong!

well. there's nothing left to do but wait..we could also place bets on the days we think results are gonna come out, it might cheer things up
:p

Thanks, I'd seen that before. I guess it means it now also depends on admin staff at our individual unis, with added stress of some notifying later than others. Argh...

' nausea mixed with excitement followed by deflation every time the post arrived and nothing from them', feel exactly the same way, only with email! I can't stop checking it. hopefully the weekend'll take my mind off it and by next week we should know...thanks to all and good luck to those waiting too!

Anyone heard about these yet??
Been waiting since March for an answer for my +3 application and they should be announced anytime soon. I'm going crazy with the wait as the time draws closer!
