"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.

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.

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::
