Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

Ann, that's a ferret.

When Fiddy tours France is he "demi-Euro"?

More like .40-Euro, with current exchange rates.

"2.34 NIS".

Oh, that is just excellent. Seriously, I think my whole day just got better.

Huh.

One of our account execs just sent an e-mail to Big Boss saying I have an amazing turnaround time, and that our customers are commenting on how wonderful I am to work with.

I'm bemused. Maybe I should've gone into acting?

There is a way cool show for us to see Saturday, I think its eight bucks.

I immediately tried to see what it's going to end like when converted to NIS or Euro. Which is a strange way to spell "yay!".

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

It's a major local grant, so I doubt he'd be confusing it with another proposal.

OK. I was under the impression that he didn't know whether or not his group had applied for the same grant as yours had. And the Institute where I work offers grants and they all have ID numbers. So I was thinking a few minutes of comparing what ever identification your grant(s) carried would clear things right up.

In other words, I thought it was a "he doesn't know which grant he applied for and, thus, if there's a conflict" issue, rather than a "he's just now realizing his group applied for well known X-grant, same as us" issue.

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

Cool! A friend of mine actually has written something for a show on Sunday. I haven't seen him in about 6-7 years so I might surprise him.

That looks like a lot of fun. I wish I could come with (there is no way I'll be back from family thing in time)

Having been in this situation before, I think it's premature to rule out "Big Wig came up with the idea to apply on our own late last night and we haven't made a final decision yet" either.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

How cool is this? Combine that with a Lush glitter bath, and it's like a disco in your tub. Which reminds me -- last time I went to Lush they told me the FDA had clamped down on the Fairy Jasmine bath bomb. Which made me realise it's the only one of their fun bath products I actually like, and I was sad.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I lost my wallet on the way to work. A little wallet-getting-back-ma wouldn't be a bad thing just now.

FWIW, I cancelled my credit card and put a hold on my ATM card, which are the only items that could cause severe hardship. I may even be able to run over to the RMV at lunch and see about a replacement license. ::sighs::
