another day, another 900 words

Spent most of the day doing more calculations (never mind that I was meant to have finished the calculation stage months ago--sometimes you find more that *must* be done if you are going to say anything worthwhile for the sample you are writing up!). Wound up having to re-do one set of calculations when the graphs that result from it looked *wrong*, which alerted me to the fact that I'd entered in the incorrect data. Sigh--that wasted a good hour+ of my time. But it has been done correctly this time (I checked). Once I'd done that I wrote-up the results for the thesis, which took 913 words, and references to four different figures/tables generated as a result of the calculations. All this in only 5 1/2 hours of actual working time, and it isn't yet 6pm, so there is every chance I'll come back to it after I bit of a break...
