Two Days Stint in Rapporteuring

Note scribbler
Well, in the midst of the hassle to do one grant application and also to keep step with a dateline of my current white paper writing job, I have to step out of this loop to do a spate of rapporteuring at a technology colloquium at The Mines. It will be for one and a half day scribbling away and looking for facts after chucking away the gibberish spewed forth by both nonsensical pseudo speakers as well as ego-driven participants.

Fortunately for me, as the days passed by, information on the grant application proves elusive and I can see a shift of the dateline by another week. Hopefully, the inputs submitted will be good for use.

As for the white paper writing job, it is truly overwhelming what with trying to grasp the subject and to use  the synthesis in the writing.

I do hope that they will consider a dateline flexibility especially for the first milestone.

In the meantime, another project is appearing on the horizon. It is an institution review paper and will likely take me up to New Year's day 2013, if we can get the job at the price we are pitching.

Lord, when it rains it really floods .

Amen.
