Random Supposings

Dude: It's hard to balance being a writer at work with being a writer at home.  Sometimes I get tired of sitting at a computer ALL DAY!

Right now I am working on my Fellows Research Presentation that I give next Wednesday March 21st.  It's an outline of my research agenda/approach.  Maybe I'll put some of the more interesting slides on here.

Two great things did happen today.

1. It rained, ala Harry Potter, in my building today.  A pipe burst in the 6th floor bathroom and water (holy hell, I hope it was water) poured down one of the elevator shafts.  On the first floor the elevator doors were open and it looked like rain.  Bad for the building, I realize, but totally fun to see.

2. A research proposal that I put a lot of work into was accepted without revisions (big deal) by TESS: the online social survey website.  Basically, that means they collect data for me (also a big deal).  So I'll have primary data soon, rather than having to borrow data from other sources here at the NCI.  Whoop!

Okay, that's all.  Back to the presentation!
Love,
Amber
