Arrrgh.

Indeed. Not much of a productive weekend, sadly. I just haven't gotten it together. My appointment with our stats office helped me get my shit together -- I had 6 nights of data to enter still. But, as he played with his regressions, basically *no* vegetation or environmental variable had any effect, and somehow there's very little between-farm difference in capture rates, and it's making me kind of cranky. He always is trying to get me to do something other than ANOVAS but he doesn't understand that I looooove ANOVA. I understand it. I'm too old to learn new things.

Wow. This is turning out to be the most boring blog ever.

Turning the beat around... I hope!

Well, it is done -- I just submitted my manuscript to Science! And only a couple of days later than was my goal. And I've started working on the next publication, researching where I will send it. And I sent off three job applications (for jobs I don't really want, at least not right now.) I made a yummy pot roast last night, although my husband and I washed it down with too much wine, leaving me low energy today. I really need to change my publishing history. It's terrible. I've had this problem for years; I just had no good advice, and while I love to start projects and write grants, writing up the end results is just soooo booooring. Also, I have problems dealing with the criticism. Of course, the biggest problem is that my research hasn't been as engrossing.
