Loooong Day
Oh, grants.gov, how I'd love to hate you!
Due to a variety of technical difficulties (one of them being our office's network security protection/access being too good), I ended up spending hours trying to get the online government grant submission site to work. With two proposals being initially rejected due to -- get this -- "broken pipe" (their words, not mine :p), I wasn't feeling too optimistic that I'd be able to successfully submit the proposals at a decent hour. Turns out, after numerous phone calls to the grants.gov IT help desk, I had to lower the access security of Adobe Reader to allow full transmission of data. I didn't leave the office until ~9:30 p.m. Blech.
Then I spent an hour and a half talking with a street person named John -- long story -- which means I had just managed to get home at a quarter to midnight. I'm in desperate need of a shower now, and then after that, sleep.
