Over this Xmas I have successfully FINALLY accomplished one thing on my to do list: Cleanse the grant critiques I wrote so that they could be sent to the people who wrote the grants.
Still on the list:
1. Finish database exam (It took me a week to make Access 2007 obey me. What a pain!)
2. Finish changes on AcuOA paper and send back to PI.
3. Read articles on why telling patients about medical errors is good.
4. Incorporate said papers into grant I am supposed to be working on.
5. Start reading Rothman textbook.
In truth, it's not as though I've done *nothing* on the other tasks. I did spend the better part of last week making Access 2007 my bitch, and have read all the way to page 10 of Rothman.
It has been dense reading! Give me a break!
So tomorrow I vow to really truly finish the database exam. For real this time. Then perhaps I can move onto the paper that will not die on Wednesday.
It's just hard to motivate when there is an endless supply of movies on Direct TV and a dog to stroke. What can I say.
2 Pearls of Wisdom:
Petting a dog is much more soothing, though.
I swear there is no better feeling than making a list and slowly being able to cross each item off. They should find someway to encapsulate that feeling and sell it for 50 bucks a pop.
