Can I?
HAPPY FRIDAY!!!
Sorry to hear about your situation, XGI. Real sorry. Women can be such .... well, you know.
And 2J, sorry to hear about the recent developments with the thesis. Men can be such ... well, you know.
If my temper can be of help to either of you, you have only to ask.
Things have been busy here. I've been writing reports on this and that and have been drafting big study proposals. This is like writing a grant proposals. Form over function. Silliness abounds. Anyhoo, I've been working on keeping the budgets for my proposals trim in order to improve their chances of being funded. Well, one of the decision makers sat me down yesterday and gave me an earful of criticism. This is all wrong, entirely the wrong approach, won't answer the questions blah blah blah .... unless you triple the size of the effort and do it "right". I never saw that coming.
