don't you envy the adventure and excitement of it all
Hm, the last 24 hours of my life:
Friday afternoon: Solved a sticky problem in the lab: you get much bigger skin conductance responses if you use electrode spots on the palms as opposed to transducers wrapped around the fingers. I'm sure you'll all find this very informative and applicable to your daily lives.
Friday evening: Went to a free Minnesota Orchestra performance downtown. Ives and Rachmaninov and Dvorak, oh my. The symphony, it is a nice thing, and I'd recommend it to anyone, but I don't know if I'd be willing to pay full ticket price. But the bummer with the free concert is that you have to deal with kids, and with people whispering to each other and crinkling their plastic Marshall Fields bags (MF sponsors the event). Kind of puts a cramp in the experience. I wish I could somehow focus purely on the music, to travel with it so to speak, but I'm really not at that sophisticated of a listening level. It's a nice ideal though.
Saturday morning: Stumble out half-asleep for coffee. Look over the various things I have to do before I move into my new place in Pittsburgh. Scary.
Saturday afternoon (the here and now). I am at Mercado. We just lost internet access temporarily, of course exactly at the time when about 5 men were staring at me, waiting to use the computers. Fortunately we got it back (obviously).
They've started some new system here. We have to give out ID numbers to our clients and there's also a new pen-and-paper survey for them to fill out regarding their daily stresses. To be honest I don't know how well this will work--I think it may reduce our efficiency and make potential clients suspicious. I hope it's a short-lived thing.
This evening I start cat-sitting for a former professor. They also have a toad that I occasionally have to spritz with water. I guess that's what you have to do with toads.
Hm, and that's about it, that's my day.
