Impotent rage!
I work in grant funding.

I have a project that has been problematic for a while. The original application came in during the last tax year, but it's been held up for various boring and technical reasons.

Now that these problems have been resolved, I have asked them to revise costs to take out elements that were wrong and to reprofile their budget as we're now in a new tax year.

So I am now hitting my head off the desk as I open up the new, revised and shiny application to find spend and claims allocated to 2008/09.

I love my job...

Move up north
Preferably to an area of rural Northumberland, and I'll shower you with all the funding you'd need...

I was knackered afterwards
We needed a few extra evenings to finish all the little bits off too.

EDIT ...oooohhh is this my 2nd nested reply cock up? or has my screen/puter just cleverly moved things over to stop 'em squishing up?
