Proposals – Love ’em / Hate ’em

Whoopie! Just sent off another proposal. I fear it will be rejected purely on sticker shock but the price is right. I hate sending a proposal that my gut feeling says is going to get rejected. I want to please and I want to do the job. But I also have to feed my family.

Proposals are fun to write. I could spend a week drawing diagrams and making plans but when you realize that you aren’t being paid for this preliminary work and that you may not get the job it begins to feel like salt being poured into a wound.

Well. One down. One to go.

National Vasectomy Awareness Week ( Sept 12-18 )

That’s right! It’s National Vasectomy Awareness Week ( Sept 12-18 ) and IF I had $600 to spare and IF I had scheduled it 3 months ago (yes, that coincides with Evan’s entrance into this world) I would be participating this week. Instead I’m watching this video (link will resize your browser!) closely to see if my trusty Swiss Army knive and I can manage the operation in house.

Here’s another Dr. Snip reference. Dr. Wilson’s picture is just a little creepy. Someone should animate his lips and add the "we’ve got a bleeder!" soundclip from There’s Something About Mary.
