Subject: Re: [RESADM-L] Grants.gov Submission Problems Today

I keep picturing all these researchers playing
some grant game in this big xml pie and all.
Thousands of them, and nobody's around - nobody
in charge, I mean - except me. And I'm standing
on the edge of some crazy 5 PM deadline cliff.
What I have to do, I have to push everybody over
the cliff - I mean if they're running and they
don't look at the time I have to come out from
somewhere and push them. That's all I'm doing all
day. I'd just be the pusher in the pie and all. I
know it's crazy, and THERE ARE A LOT OF OTHER
THINGS I'd really RATHER be DOING. I know it's crazy.
