Finally got my funding application in today. Three months hard bloody work and 33 pages of carefully edited and optimisitc bravado. 1/10 chance of getting the funding from it...

Australian Research Council funding to work at Monash.
Bad year for applying. Almost everyone is eligible and so much rule bending has gone on. 200 positions and at least 2,000 applicants. Even projects that would pass in a normal year have a ~1/3 chance of getting through.
