Goooood morning!

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.

So does that mean you get triple the budget? :)

Miss Cat got to the milk while I wasn't looking. *Sigh* She's so cute when she's being bad.

mornin'

Mrs. got hit with something out of the blue this week because she told a company conference planner "I need more training on this." Major Bee-yatch from NYC got all huffy and said she should know that already.

How, exactly if she's never been trained?

Wife was stuned, but didn't back down. Told her immediate bosses "I come from a background where it's a good thing to ask questions."

I told her to not let it worry her. There's a Major Bee-yatch in every organization. Sometimes they're wimmin, sometimes they're ~really~ bee-yatchy men.
