ketchup

i'm waiting to start.

teaching again. in the meantime, am working at sws as a decoder for one of their survey projects. in layman's terms, i make d' codes hehehe for open-ended questions such as "what is your favorite blog?" one can get several answers and so, to make data processing easy, i assign codes to each unique answer i.e. "life is waiting" - 0001, "afternoons" - 0002, so on and so forth.

i have 6000 questionnaires to look at. and at least 4 Q#s to code.

i have it easy during the day but by the time the night shift people come to encode (they code-in the d' codes i made hehe), they wait for each questionnaire i code.

i guess even if you don't pause for a stop, even if you get a headstart, and even if you move faster, things will always catch up on you. as they should.
