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.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

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?]

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
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.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
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.

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.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
2.34 NIS
I love this. If Diddy gets to change his name every time he changes his shoes, I think 2.34 NIS should one-up him by dynamically linking his name to world currency markets.

so it's either this proposal or nothing
Which makes things easier, I think (if still frustrating). You don't have the chance of pressuring yourself in order to make another proposal anyway, so it's out of your hands as it is.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
In all seriousness, Kate, there's not much you can do. Can your organization do the proposal without the other? If not, and the other guys pull out, you're just screwed. (I mean, in terms of having wasted your time working on the proposal.) And you should probably talk to someone as high up in your org as possible, if the regular people who would deal with it aren't there. This kind of shit happens semi-regularly, and is why I hate working with partners.
