Good guys win!

We won both of the grants we wrote - I wrote! - in November. I'm SO excited!! I wrote two winning grants, each worth $1 million to the clients and 90k to us over three years!!

YAY! Oh, I'm so happy! Up to now, it kind felt like I was riding mom's coat tails, but these two grants would not have happened without me - she barely even worked on one of them cause she was sick the whole time so I just did all of it. So it's like, hey, I can do this!!

Huzzah!! Huzzah! :)

Gads, that's SO great! You must be really proud of yourself. :D I hope this means you'll find some time to write fiction now, in-between writing next grants? ;)

That's the plan - I've written 4 grants in the past couple of months, and I have another one due on the 15th, but I think I can manage to get in 750 if I'm only working on 1 grant. ;)

Woo hoo! Congrats! :D

Woot! Congrats! Are you done with the grant writing now? Is it OK to start to think about visiting you?

[identity profile] unforth.livejournal.com 2008-03-28 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Just about. We've got one more that we may or may not be writing which will be due on the 15th of April. After that, though, I'm concocting grand plans for May through August. ;)

It's way awesome! :)

Wow! Congratulations! Isn't it nice when jobs are rewarding? (Quite literally in your sense!)

[identity profile] unforth.livejournal.com 2008-03-29 01:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah - I've finally won grants that earn the company more than what I get paid! Somehow, that feels really good, like I know that I'm a profitable asset. :)

Many con-grant-ulations!

[identity profile] unforth.livejournal.com 2008-03-29 01:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Ugh! Painful! Well done! :)

LOL, I think I stole it from Doug Hofstadter -- he said something like that to me when we won our grant last year.

Oh wow, fantastic! Is there a connection to be drawn here? Grants written in Japan win?

[identity profile] unforth.livejournal.com 2008-03-29 01:17 pm (UTC)(link)
I hope that's not the requirement - if so I'm in big trouble cause I've written a bunch of grants since I left!
