rivkaSubjects scheduled to be run today: 3
Subjects run today: 2 (22 to go)
Flaky subjects who have no-showed on me two days in a row: 1
New subjects recruited today: 0 (9 to go - because I think the double no-show had better be replaced.)
Other accomplishments today: Lots of data entry. Lots of articles read. Deep thoughts about data analysis and about the HIV prevention grant. Dried organic mangoes purchased. The entire west side of Spence Laboratories of Psychology scoured for toys to entertain the children whem the flaky subject who no-showed on me two days in a row was supposed to be bringing with her to the session.
The VCR I borrowed from my advisor's lab doesn't want to record. That could perhaps be why there's a masking-tape label on it that specifies "play." Fortunately, one of my former classmates is willing to tape the West Wing premiere. I won't be able to see it until Thursday at the earliest, but that's still better than waiting until I get back to Maryland.
I'm feeling incredibly cranky right now about being stood up.
Okay: off to the gym, and then back to the guest house for dinner. I really, really don't want to work out right now, but I'm forcing myself to remember how painful it would be to start all over again.

Really, I understand that subject no-shows are just part of the deal. If it weren't for the time pressure, I would be a lot more mellow about it.
