As of yesterday, we finally know what we're doing with all this data I've accumulated. I fished out the holes in my data and have started filling some in. This is really satisfying!
I wish I had more skill with the data presentation software, because I'm finding Claris Draw to be really awkward. I don't know anything about PowerPoint. Experiment planning is creative in some ways; data collection invokes my procedural memory; data analysis is where I need the most work. It's a confidence thing. I'm afraid my conclusions will be all wrong and people will think I'm an idiot. It's only paranoia---I am actually smart and possess good analytical skills---but with everything going well in other respects, I'm reluctant to shine a spotlight on an area of less experience.
I love what I do. I love the people I work with. I have an actual personal desire to complete this project and present the results. After all the BS of my previous jobs, these are shocking realizations.
