Busy day at the lab. My buddy called me this morning to tell me that we didn't get our grant. He later came in and let me know that he was looking at the wrong proposal. We don't know if we got it yet.

We probably won't. Kind of sucks to have to hear it twice.

Ouch, not cool. Still, good luck. Will you let us know either way? Now I somehow feel a vested interest.

Update: No dice.

Sucks because it was a solid proposal. It's a very political thing right now. Not enough money.

At any rate, I have two killer projects in the works, and a lab that values me. I am lucky in that respect. At least a grant I am co-investigator on got funded. Always a bridesmaid...

I'm sorry to hear that pal. Your ship will come in soon, in a big way.

mk, in case you didn't guess, I was playing around with the new-user-flow and taking some notes. In doing so, I made "thisisanewaccount" and forgot to log out. Sorry for the confusion. You must have wondered how this new account was so sure of your success...

Dammit, I thought God made an account.

Well, according to my ego...

I am a God, Green said using his best Yeezy impression.

If the Second Coming started on Hubski I would be so happy.

All Green wanted was some croissants

Yeah, a drink for celebration or sorrow.

Fingers crossed for you. I know that anxious feeling all to well.
