'Heart Of Gold'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
OMG.
A grant that I've been working on is due today. It involves our partnership with another city organization that works with low-income teenagers. Yesterday at 5:15pm, the guy in charge of the other org calls our Education Director (who had already left for the day) and says "I just talked to one of our board members, and I think we may be applying for the same grant, so I'm not sure we can partner with you after all." What. the. fuck. am I supposed to do now?
Stab someone.
And I speak as a seasoned fundraising professional.
I think we may be applying for the same grant
He thinks! And it's due today. Yeah, stabbing seems about right.
He thinks! And it's due today.
Don't grants have some sort of identifying system? Names, numbers, something? If he thinks it's an issue, perhaps a five minute session of comparing grant proposals would clear it up.
were there such a thing...NO MORE WINTER EVAH!
The next step is, of course, to invent a machine that stores those coldon particles, so that they can be released to the air in months like July and August, in places like Tel-Aviv.
50 Cent
The only thing I know about this movie is that it was mentioned in some Israeli movies site, and they kept mentioning his name as the current Israeli currency equivalent to the sum of 50 cents. So the kept calling him "2.34 NIS".
Kate, is there a way to fins out for sure whether that person is involved with another grant? This way, if he isn't, fine, and if he is, you can start figuring out what to do from there, but at least you'll know you have to deal with the problem, not just be in this annoying "what now?" state. [Edit: x-post, of course. Either way, it'll have to be finished today, and then it will be over, right?]
She has a goldfish brain and was startled, so she promptly bit me and started purring at the same time.
Or she's kinky, you just don't know.
It's raining and windy here. blah!
You should come to New York then! Woo hoo!
Makes me wonder if activist groups have to make noise periodically so that people know they exist
Like a bunch of women in lingerie and wings protesting the destruction of the rainforest outside the Victoria's Secret show. Other than the fact that VS has catalogs I just don't see the connection.
Plus, did I mention the two other people in my office who deal with grants aren't here today? Argh.

I'm a little confused about what you're asking. It's a major local grant, so I doubt he'd be confusing it with another proposal.

That is hys.ter.i.cal.
dreamt of dogs last night. They were large dogs, and not dressed as wedding participants. I felt that bon bon should know this.
I do feel better knowing this.

That's hilarious!

We've got phone calls and emails in to him now, and we're just waiting to hear back. The proposal is all done, and I can't put together another completely different one at this point, so it's either this proposal or nothing.
