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.

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.

dreamt of dogs last night

so did I . some guy was breeding bueatiful golden retrivers. I ended up with two of them. Msbelle married the man that was breeding the dogs.

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::

I'm going to have to go buy a dozen fairy jasmine's, aren't I? Fuckers.

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.

Of course you have an amazing turnaround time. It's not like you work your ass off, or anything.

And I guess stifling all of those moments of homicidal rage worked out.

Wait, what's wrong with the fairy jasmine?

Let shrift be an example to us all.

Oh, it's totally that.

Good luck, Theodosia! Someone here had her purse stolen the other day, she sent a scathing email to everyone in the world, and it was "found" a couple of days later.
