Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Well, I am now boggled at the idea that anyone would think a dating metaphor was a good one for grant writing. I mean, yes, you need to find a good match, and, okay, I would be more likely to date people who can spell (but then, see my actual husband, who can't), and eventually you just go to a bad place which involves getting into a foundation's pants, and NO.
Edit: bad place, not bed place. Hellooo, Freud.
I am not doing well at work today.
Can you take a walk for a little while? Get some air?
I'm sorry your job is so horrible.
A walk seems like a good call.

As I "learned" at work just the other day, working with foundations is more like dating with an eye on marriage, while corporate sponsors are more like one-night stands.
Scrappy, is your profile addy still good?
If flea makes her metaphor about how grant writing is like a one night stand, I bet they would sit up and listen.
I'm sorry, msbelle. I hope a better job comes along for you soon.

My meeting was okay. It was a "what do you want to see happen next year" meeting. Where we delicately talked about roadblocks to accomplishment without mentioning my direct supervisors name.
I'm sorry your job is so horrible.
Yes this. I'm sorry your boss is putting you through this wringer, but he's the problem, not you.

Ack! No! What did they tell you next? You need to check under their kimonos or whatever that horrible, racist, sexist line was?

Ha ha, no. The upshot was really that we (foundation people) are good, kind people, and they (corporate people) are wham-bam-thank you ma'am.

Especially when you get to the part about slamming one last shot and stumbling out to the parking lot together ...
