Award denied but not giving up

My boss and I applied for an Exhibit award through our Regional Medical Library so a co-worker and I could exhibit at the Maryland Academy of Physician Assistants conference next week in Ocean City, MD.

We were denied. Reason being, PA's were not part of their RML's target audience this year. So, now we are trying to look at our budget and see if it is possible to go without the award.

We have not given up, there is another award titled something like Library Improvement Award that I will apply for. With this money which happens to be $5000.00 I can buy the Verizon wireless Internet external card that I need so I can take my work laptop with me to conference rather than checking out one someone else can use. I can also use this money to buy a projector and a portable printer that I can take with me to conference.

I have a pretty positive outlook on us getting this award since my position is brand new to the organization and having this equipment will make my job easier when I am out in 'the field'.

So, think good thoughts and I will keep you in the loop as soon as I know anything.

I decided to write this since I am taking a break from a 22 page article we (our department) have to read for our quarterly Journal Club meeting later t his morning. I think I have only a few pages left but felt I needed to 'take a break before finishing. Proof I am a procrastinator!!
