You know you’re a capitalist pig grantwriter if you write the budget first and mess with it until the total request is within three cents of the award ceiling.
You know you’re a bleeding-heart activist grantwriter is you write the Needs section first and think it might be the basis for your novel.
You know you’re a washed up grantwriter if you’re commenting on year-old Seliger blogs on a Friday night…
eBay…vintage lamps?…Gotta run!

Jake- Let me know if you need help with your 330 SAC and EHB. Been there done that and sadly have no hot plans for the 4th! Jody

Ha!

Sometimes it can be quite difficult to create any sort of relationship between a budget and a proposal.

And this was (in fact) quite amusing. Keep it up!

You know you’re a grant writer if… you’ve read Mr. Seliger’s entire post and so thoroughly agree with it that you feel compelled to leave a comment.

You know you’re a grant writer if… you’re procrastinating on a deadline, but you think that browsing “Grant Writing Confidential” is somehow related to your task, so it helps mitigate your guilt about procrastinating. You tell yourself this is more productive than looking at vintage lamps on eBay.
