Cycled to work again (go me!) and set off at roughly the same time as yesterday... and bizarrely passed the same two women perched in the same place on the wall by the hospital, smoking - and the same bus parked at the terminus on a side road. Yesterday it set off just as I cycled towards it, and today just as I cycled away - I must have been 10 seconds earlier today...
In other news had another paper rejected yesterday (boo!). Very frustrating. I'm starting to wonder if it's worth bothering with this particular paper, as the data in it is already published in a chapter, though not in much detail; the only advantages would be papers are worth more points than chapters for promotion type thingys and department kudos, and it would be more convincing on a grant application. It's been to about three different journals so far...
Currently watching: Teen Angels. Another happy ending from the team that brought you Little Angels. Harder with teens, though, because they have to cooperate and are more difficult to manipulate, er, modify the behaviour of. But a combination of firmness and self-knowledge seems to have won the day. I was a bit frustrated that the clinical psychs didn't point out that the teenager's pot smoking wasn't just illegal and annoying, but dangerous, and they didn't try and discuss the effect <i>that</i> might be having on his behaviour.
Later: Just come across http://www.storycode.com/index.php from someone else's wiblog: looks like a good way to waste some time!
