Anyone else feeling utterly drained from the anxiety of the last 24 hours?

Yes. I don't think I can take another sleepless night. Going to work with 3-4 hours sleep is not enough. Hardly getting anything done.

Ditto. It has literally been a roller-coaster of not sleeping, sweaty palms, heart palpitations, etc. At this point I just want to know. I am grateful for this forum though! You all have helped me cope!

Hahaha yes! I was completely fine last week knowing I had one more week to find out, but as everyday INCHES closer (feels like some of these days are just dragging) I find myself dealing with sweaty palms, even though the A/C is on, sweating a bit, heart palpitations, etc . . .

I just want it to be over with

Why is BLE sending emails about release day/time to law clerks?

Unclear that is what Minnie was claiming. Could have been saying they screenshotted an email sent to someone higher up or were sent a screenshot. Still, she's been very silent in the face of conflicting info.

Agree with all of the above. I'm probably going to breakout due to all this stress.

Haha. I already have. Also: zero work accomplished today. Zero tomorrow. And is anyone else wondering why JW hasn't posted ANYTHING in 7 hours?

Because he hasn't heard anything yet? Maybe he doesn't want to freak us out? I have a feeling the next tweet will be either (a) results imminent or (b) wait another day.

Yes. I have his push notifications on. And considering he sent a happy Wednesday (or something like that) tweet out seemingly when he woke up, I thought I was in for another day of near constant tweets.

Exactly.

I am hoping for the best, but am terrified by the worst. Either way, I'm trying to keep this in mind:

Amen to that.

Thank you for this.

Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.

You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be,
and whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.

Why is BLE sending emails about release day/time to law clerks?

I didn't see the screenshot, but I assume it was not from BLE but between clerks (i.e. one clerk asks DRW and emails other clerks so they're not all bugging him)

[lonestarlaw]

"Do not distress yourself with dark imaginings"

Extremely appropriate right about now.

So who thinks there's still a possibility that they will be released today?

Who has just said fuck it, it's not happening today, time to move on?

I'm holding out hope for today, only because no word from JW is increasingly odd.

I'm on a fuck it mood.

I do find that odd as well, but then again when he said no yesterday someone tweeted him and asked him. I don't see anyone doing that today. . .

People have asked but he hasn't answered.

I would just like to know what would be keeping them from releasing the results?? Still got a few items left to grade (Insert Sarcastic tone)

[pheerful22]

I am pretty sure I have refreshed this thread a hundred times, refreshed JW twitter feed a hundred times, and for the hell of it refreshed my ATLAS page a hundred times.

Probably don't want to deal with three days of people emailing and calling asking questions etc. (by three days I am assuming they will work Friday)

Ohhh hahaha. I don't use Twitter, so I guess I wasn't looking at the right place. That makes it even weirder IMO, since he did answer a few people yesterday.

search auto refresh - i like easy auto refresh, it works fine. you set increments in seconds. I have everything running on edges of my screen with work in the middle.
