i got a promotion and a raise. i also got to move my office to a more quiet area, no longer right under the bosses nose. nice. it surely is a nice transition. my new job involves a lot more writing of proposals and reports. i'm working on my first of many proposals, and it's proving to be quite fun. there's about 6 of us that get to decide everything from the design of the study to the formulation of the data collection instruments. now, i'm sure most of you just read "nerd nerd nerd, nerd nerd nerd nerd." what can i say? all you need to know is that it's good shit for me! :)
