elaine's strange little world

off to davis for the day, to visit consultant person. will respond to comments and emails later tonight, i hope! feeling better than yesterday, though nothing has actually been resolved. love you guys for being awesome and supportive! bye!!!!

haven't updated in a little bit, and haven't commented on several posts that i wanted to comment on. sorry about that. i haven't had dsl at home due to unknown issues (which will hopefully become known as soon as i get my act together and call), so my internet access is limited to work and david's...and most of the time, i have better things to do at those places than update my lj, with the present moment being an exception since it is my lunch break.

so, work, which i've been very positive about in general, has been really frustrating the last couple of days. this is nobody's fault, really...the problem is, our equipment is all very buggy and i've spend way more time than i want to troubleshooting various things, none of which have, as of yet, resolved themselves. so that's annoying. today we've already had recorder problems, battery problems, and actigraph problems. and my supervisor broke a battery (as in, physically cracked a 9V battery) when she attempted to use pliers to get it out of the recorder, where it was stuck. good times. she said to me, laughing, "aren't you glad it was me who broke it and not you?" at least we're laughing at all of it, right? but in happier news, our first subject is due to arrive in about an hour! yay!

ok, i'm off to finish things up before subject gets here. silly equipment, but that's ok. and bab5 tonight! happy!
