The original notification had me posted in Andalucía (my third choice), while the form to be sent back stated Madrid. This was of course followed by a phone call (no luck) and and then an email trying to figure out my actual placement.

Smiles (and relief) all around as I reread this second email. As is stated, I have until May 11th to decide, so I have a little under two weeks to really think about it before I spread the news.
