I’ve been saving this for a miserable wet Friday just like this one!
Recent conversation…
New colleague: “How’s it going?”
Me: “Meh”
NC: “What’s up?”
Me: “I’m having some issues with [PI’s] ethics”
NC, eyes widening dramatically: “OMG! What did he do???!!!”
Me: “…”
Me: “[PI’s] Research Ethics Board application”.
(Issues now resolved! And still no juicy gossip. But we got a grant we submitted in September! It was the most exciting proposal I’ve worked on so far in this job – which is saying a lot, because my department does some really cool stuff – and the one I was rooting for the most. Yay!)
Happy Friday, everyone!
LOL! And congrats on the grant 🙂
Cath, no one likes a gossip tease.
That would have made for some interesting gossip indeed… and yay on the grant!
Thanks all!
Ruchi, yes, she was most disappointed!
Awesome job on the grant, Cath. Here’s to exciting projects!
Thanks, Bean-Mom! My main job today is to turn the proposal into a flowchart and progress tracking spreadsheet. I actually really enjoy this (yes, I’m a freak) and it’s fun to go back through the proposal again, this time knowing that we’ll actually get to do it!
