It turns out that I didn't have to worry about the colliding projects. I pretty much finished up the Army proposal this morning and sent it off to the client to review over the weekend. I have some minor things to do on it before Monday (table of contents, cover letter, personnel bios), but that is it. They will send it off to the Army on Monday evening.
The BAFO client got behind, so they have not sent me more stuff to look at and fix. They wanted to be finished by close-of-business today, but it doesn't look like that is going to happen. They are having a meeting this morning and will let me know what is going on. I had a lengthy phone conversation with them yesterday to discuss the problem section, and made some recommendations about how to address it. One of their staff thought it best to rewrite the whole section instead of trying to revise it, and he began work on it yesterday afternoon. Then he called me at about 5 PM yesterday to say that he forgot to save his work and lost it all, and what should he do now? Geez.
I'm glad the weekend is coming. I'm still tired from this cold and still stuffed up. Hopefully I will be able to get some rest.
A follow-up to the plagarism issue: after being contacted by her hosting company and Yahoo, the owner of the site finally e-mailed me and apologized. She asked if she could put up a link to my site on the page that previously contained the content she copied from me. I accepted her apology, agreed to the link, and I think things were left on good terms.
