My Precious

My new computer has finally arrived! It is big, sleek, silver and beautiful. Thank you Steve Jobs (may he rest in peace), you have made this joyous day possible.


I have been waiting for my computer for weeks! I have been like a stubborn child, refusing to get any real work done until I got it. Also, it turned out that we had major teething problems with our first analyses anyway, so I was truly unable (or at least challenged to the absolute limits of my can-be-botheredness) to get on with data tampering... I mean analysing.

After installing statistical programs onto my home computer three times, then having to admit that despite repeated attempts the programs refused to open the relevant data files, I was defeated. I was also convinced that all my prayers would be answered and my problems solved by the arrival of my new imac. I can assure you, they have. Things work now!

This means I can happily go home an procrastinate for the rest of the day. Who in their right mind would start work at 4pm on a Friday? No one!
