HELP!

I've spent the last few weeks putting together and organizing a team of engineers and scientists to submit a proposal for a grant. I am now holed up at my computer writing the proposal, allowing myself very little contact with the outside world except for some peeks at my favorite sites.

Can you guys let me know what's going on in the outside world, write something funny, anything to help get me through this. Maybe you can do some voodoo or something and send me the ability to write an awesomely organized and convincing proposal.

I cant tell you how much I hate this! I hate writing - hate it. Heeellllllllp!

 

It's not funny, but I hope this interesting article can provide some relief...

Good luck with the grant!

 

Not inspiring perhaps, but to keep you in the right frame of mind, enjoy some footy: http://www.myp2p.eu/broadcast.php?match ... art=sports

 

Thanks guys. especially the WWI article, W'bhoy I'm afraid watching some footy while I'm writing will slow up my computer. I'm having to do a fair amount of web surfing about stuff.

Anyway, after about 4,298 hours, I just completed another paragrahp. Woo hoo!

Thanks Bradical, Ian, nevzter, and 'Bhoy! I'm still working and you're helping make it less painful. Bradical, I couldnt believe that crane/tow truck fiasco - makes me feel smart at a very opportune time. However, I think that last picture was a fake.

If only I had ever really suffered this wouldnt feel like such torture. I hate writing!!!!!!

 

My friend sent me this to keep me going. Sorry for the profanity but it is funny

Thanks Mo. It was very funny, had to watch away from the kids. :wink:

 

I still need that voo doo writing magic. . . help me Tom Cruise

 

Still chugging (I wish).... I mean slaving away at the writing.

Anyone in FUSAland out there to keep me company? Anything happening today?

 

How can anyone stand to watch that?! I certainly can't............. but I do like flowers, just not some odd hours of independently mobile flowers

 

I guess I'm losing it because I really didnt follow what you guys were going on about . . . flowers, odd hours, drugs, parades.

Thanks though, I'm looking forward to finding out about that stuff once I'm done with this proposal.

Actually, good news, I've finished the rough draft and will send it off to the powers that be in the am for their omniscient opinions. There will still be another week of scrambling to finish every last detail of the proposal (budget, legal, and pirma dona bs) but I think the major stuff that I hate (writing) is mostly done.

Don if I had your writing prowess I would have been done with this days ago. Obviously you dont posses the tom cruise voo doo magic to send me the abilities but I'm certain you posses some other sort of super power magic.

Anyway thanks to all for putting up with this stupid thread. Whether you like it or not you have helped me get through something that I really dont like.

Now Pettyfog is going to help me get through a house renovation - I hope

Happy New Year!

 

Good luck on your proposal, and take a half hour or so to go outside and get some fresh air. You earned it.

 

Thanks Steve. The grant is meant to bring high tech economic growth to Ohio so you've got a stake in too, however small.

As you suggested, I went out for my first run in days; saw the sun too.
