I am not sure that “squirgly” is a word, but it aptly describes today. My day went in many directions but few of them were planned!! I spent a good amount of time with a librarian trying to gain access to a book to no avail. I did, however, learn some useful search techniques.
I then focused on prepping my data for import into SPSS. I learned a great deal over the summer and decided to begin my analysis from scratch using several new techniques that will make it easier if I need to “course correct” later. I soon discovered, to my dismay, that the SPSS licence that I purchased in late July has an August 2012 expiry date. I have sent an email to IBM but still have not received a new product key, so I am going to have to put my analysis on hold until I receive a response. Grrr!!
My week was more linear and highly productive. The Leadership Conference at work went really well and I am pleased with the workshop that I delivered. I was also able to confirm all of my CEO and CPO interviews for November and have booked my travel arrangements. I am especially looking forward to getting their perspectives on the quantitative findings.
I am going to sign off now and have a nap. Sounds crazy but I am a bit tired and am taking my sister out for her birthday this evening so I need to get some energy!
