19 days to go. we start writing an nih grant tomorrow, and it's due the 17th, the upshot of this being no sleep ever. also to be completed: a rewrite of the dratted manuscript from the s'pore dataset because the ex-boss has declared the first draft to be insufficiently conservative for these economically uncertain times (i know, right. wtf?) anyway, i have to retool some of the language so that it's less titillating/not as risque/please move the quilt up 2 inches thank you very much, which won't take all that long but is annoying as hell.
