good news, bad news

[jay]

good news... in negotiations with the Army CRREL for a lunar regolith drill automation task, my budget was reduced, but only from $1.27M --> $1.15M over 4 years. Not nearly as bad as I'd braced-for.

bad news... the wonderfully competent folks at our in-house travel agency never sent me my travel itinerary for next week -- because they accidentally cancelled it. I have to rebook everything for Houston on Monday in the next 2 hours. Sigh...

Good about funding. But the travel folks are indeed fuckwits, as others have said.

(nods) which is one reason why I've had to learn travel management skills, in order to undo their messes ;^)
