Thank god.
This is definitely one of those weeks when it's hard to watch the clock tick down til 4:30, when I can finally make the mad dash for the door. As it is, I don't punch the clock at my job, so I will be leaving as soon as Woodman's opens. (4:00) Leaving before the bar opens is just reckless on weeks like this.

So we got the word, more or less. Bush's budget for 2006-2007 does not include any money for Talent Search and Upward Bound programs. We won't know for sure until Feb. 6 when the budget actually gets announced, but at this point, when you get word like this it very rarely changes. This means that the lobbying efforts begin again. Last year we managed to get money back on the House floor, so it's certainly possible that will happen again. Still, it would be nice if we were getting increases at some point.

Plans for the weekend? I fully plan to not have a conscious thought if I can avoid it. Next week begins the next cycle of grant writing, hoo ahh.
And yes that was a Scent of a Woman reference.
