'Hell Bound'
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.
Plus, did I mention the two other people in my office who deal with grants aren't here today? Argh.
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.
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.
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".
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.

HA HA HA HA!!
I think 2.34 NIS should one-up him by dynamically linking his name to world currency markets.
See, since I saw the relevant site regarding this, the value of the USA $ has already increased when compared to the Israeli Shekel, so the dynamical linking is the only way to go.

Gold standard, baby.

I exist to placate.
No, really.
You should come to New York then! Woo hoo!
I am! Wheee!
