Woohoo! I just finished a massive, and I mean HUGENORMOUS RFP for work. That's a "Request for Proposal" to all you RFP virgins out there-- and I highly recommend you stay that way. Basically, it means that some library out there wants to purchase a product that we (and our competitors) manufacture. They send a glorified, excruciatingly detailed, and often point-based survey out to everyone they're thinking of buying from.
This one ended up having a 300-page response. We were notified of it just before the New Year and hardly had enough lead-time with prep for the ALA conference in mid-January. Therefore, I've spent the last week STRAIGHT working on it, literally day and night. I'm looking forward to having my evenings free for me-time once again!
The big-ass thing is due on Friday and is going out via FedEX overnight tomorrow morning. Thank God it's over. Now I can get back to being social... but I'm so exhausted I feel like a recluse!
