Another day...

jayI'm stepping out of a long, dull air traffic management R&D meeting. The organizers already know what they want to build (a evolution of their past decade's work) and quash any ideas or concerns that might cast doubt on the need or priority for their $500M Bright Shiny. Even though the FAA and airlines have already said that they don't want it and won't use the technology, if developed. Sigh. A waste, all around.
Time to go back, paste on an attentive smile and attempt to milk off a few million around the edges for something actually useful.

My lil' nonprofit is still waiting to hear from NASA back east to see if we will get our requested funding (and if so how much). We were supposed to have heard back by last Friday but we are now waiting on a day by day basis & holding up some decision making on our part because of it.

:awe: Again, good luck to you! (I now know my lil' nonprofit's entire yearly budget is only 200K.).
