I swear it was almost as exciting as seeing your grant’s status go from “Pending IRG review” to “Pending council review”

@doc_becca OMG I spent 2.5 hours stalking for one yesterday.

@LabFairfax Did you get a good one?

@doc_becca 🤣

@DavidRalin LOL brilliant analogy!

@doc_becca I had found a python script that's supposed to automate parts of this, but didn't have the energy/wasn't desperate enough yet to figure out a) how to install it, or b) if it was actually going to ransom my computer for bitcoin.

@mjsutterer I knew that someone had to have written something like this! I may have gotten lucky but it wasn't that hard - I refreshed maybe every half hour for like 2h and one popped up.

@katewbauer Oh no! This is my first time, I hope I get my food!

@doc_becca The strategy I have heard is to overpack your cart with options so that some hopefully will still be your cart when you get a slot. YMMV

@ms_jl_johnson I’m so glad!

@doc_becca @tcarpenter216 This is much of my day more days than I'd like to admit.

@doc_becca So on the reverse, you’re saying my tactics of getting low bids last second on Manga on eBay in the 90s, or finding hard to get Skylanders for my kid will serve me well on grants... now to spin that for my CV

@doc_becca @tcarpenter216 We took turns pressing the checkout button in my house for 6 hours on Sunday. I felt like a character on #Lost

@doc_becca I do this every night. Midnight to 1am is the new golden shopping hour.

@doc_becca Good strategy!!
