Excuses

Lack of posting = I am in the grant-writing cave.

Seriously, folks, the government doesn't make it easy for you to get money from them.

It's not the scientific research part of the grant that's killing me. It's the inane paperwork, the filling out of seemly random numbers and letters in their proper spots and finding out who needs to sign off on what to make it all official. All while my lab is packing up and fleeing northwards.

Microsoft Word is being the bitch it always is. I hates it. Hatessssss it. And please, the first person to suggest that I should switch to a Mac is going to get clobbered.

I will be venturing forth from this cave to attend the Iron and Wine show tonight, because honestly, listening to them now is the only thing that's allowing me to cling to my sanity. Also, I am reviewing the show for Impose Magazine.

Back to work now.

  1. A Mac probably won't solve your word processing problems. Almost everyone I know with a Mac (myself included) uses Word on it. Pages is okay and you have to buy it separately and OpenOffice for Mac is pathetically slow, so that leaves most people using word.

    These day I mostly use Google Docs because I don't need to do any heavy word processing and it's available on any computer that has internet.

  2. I was just listening to The Shepherd's Dog in lab yesterday. Once again, jealous. Have fun!
