It seems like a while since we've had a new wave of decision emails. Based off of our AMAZING spreadsheet, sending good vibes to everyone at the 50+ days!

For once, I'm glad of the time difference - I sleep through most of the Sheffield business day, which means I only anxiously check my email / the tracker (while holding my breath, crossing my fingers, and silently bargaining with the universe) a mere 1 million times a day. If I were awake for all of business hours, I think I'd have passed out from lack of oxygen by now.  :-\\\\
