Q. When is a grant proposal like a toddler?

A. When you think you've put it safely to bed and then something (a co-investigator who has previously been silent or an administrator) wakes it up and it stands up in the cot and starts screaming at you...

Unfortunately, in both cases I have real trouble taking the "check it's ok and not in serious trouble and then leave it for a while and it will go quiet and then not trouble you again" approach - hence I am getting absolutely nothing else done at work, and very little done in the evenings at home.

Aargh...
