My research has gone well enough over the past year that I should be able to put together a decent manuscript of my work. This is great for many reasons: disseminating your research is important to your funding source, your career, your ability to get funding/jobs. Plus, it is exciting to have enough data to put together a story about what you think it all means.
I still have some stuff to do in lab, but my boss would like to start revisiting the beginnings of a manuscript I started last summer/fall. I had two analyses I intended to finish this week on Wednesday and Thursday that I did not do.
I had a dream last night that I was sitting in a seminar, and my boss and her colleague (a nice man who gave me great feedback on my grant application that was funded) were sitting behind me. I heard the colleague say to my boss that I had really good ideas and my research was headed in a good direction (YAY! even if it my brain making up the dream conversation). Then his voice hushed a bit as he said something to the effect of, "But she hit this peak of productivity and isn't getting as much done now," as he made a dramatic up and down motion with his hand. The only thing missing was some sound effects.
I guess my subconscience thinks I need to start working harder, or at least having more evidence of my productivity. Admittedly, my conscience agrees.

Still better than my dreams... they involve squirrels and fire and zombies... oh and bacon, but that's not a bad part.
you're more productive in an hour than I am in in an entire week.
Ron, bacon does make everything better.
Rapunzel, I doubt that. I'm betting we just accomplish different things.
