Jeffrey’s Twitter Updates for 2012-09-30

@HendraAgustian Wow, that must have been a tough conversation. in reply to HendraAgustian #
@saadat_m Feel better! in reply to saadat_m #
@saadat_m Awful; reminds me of a fall I had when last in London in September of 2011; took my knee 6 months to fully heal, and even now… in reply to saadat_m #
@HendraAgustian Perhaps, though I was warned early on to claim so in my research! 😉 in reply to HendraAgustian #
@andycoverdale Why; what happened? in reply to andycoverdale #
@christiepooh Fingers crossed his eye continues to improve; next vet visit is on Monday evening. in reply to christiepooh #
Then, drove 10 blocks from home to find we forgot something we needed for the weekend. Had to go back for it. #nyc #
Got to the parking garage to find I forgot the far keys and pass card. #nyc #
@ai1sa ALmost there; excellent!! in reply to ai1sa #
@saadat_m SOrry to hear; you ok? in reply to saadat_m #
@HendraAgustian Good growth as a result? in reply to HendraAgustian #
@sarahthesheepu On leave? in reply to sarahthesheepu #
@lizith You are in excellent company. in reply to lizith #
RT @ai1sa: i would remind myself that the stories of those i interview needed to be told #phdchat // I can relate completely with my work! #
@UWStory Horrible to hear. in reply to UWStory #
@christiepooh Spencer seems to be recovering nicely. He has good energy this morning, so will hope it continues. in reply to christiepooh #

I did, however, sleep 11 hours last night, and after switching allergy meds, I actually awoke and was able to breathe! #
I was so tired yesterday that I did not have the energy to Tweet; imagine my only speaking to people F2F!! How . . . odd. #

A good antidote to an impossibly difficult week is several rounds of Manhattans while watching a drag show. Gotta love #nyc #
This is the first time I stood up since I got to the office today. I think I need lunch. #

RT @TheDemocrats: More than a quarter of Mitt Romney's 2011 income was derived from foreign investments. http://t.co/omxhMcfo #
Just heard Mitt Romney mention that we cannot afford 4 more years of President Obama. Odd as these 4 years have been really generous to Mitt #

RT @coocho: and #pomodoro has been very helpful in this #acwri insanity // Agreed; love #pomodoros #phdchat #
@keithschofield Exellent! #phdchat in reply to keithschofield #
September continues with challenges: Spencer now has a small scratch on his eye and is being treated for that in addition to everything else #
@TeaAndSympathy There is an awful rumor that you are now closed for good. Say it isn 't so! #NYC #
@joegartrell Not familiar with that app; don't recall anybody on #phdchat mentioning it. do you have a link? in reply to joegartrell #
@mandlods Agreed; #Scrivener is worth the effort, but my wish list includes easier >Word formatting. I use their APA template #phdchat in reply to mandlods #
@damagedidentity Perhaps it is your calling to create a managers' CoP? #phdchat in reply to damagedidentity #
@damagedidentity Don't believe everything you see online 😉 #phdchat in reply to damagedidentity #
Getting back to Gotham later than expected. Alas, no work tonight #nyc #

@joegartrell Not familiar with PERRLA. What do you use it for? #phdchat in reply to joegartrell #
@mandlods Agreed. As much as I like #Scrivener it has a steep learning curve regarding its export (compile) functionality @amandamichelle in reply to mandlods #
@jswann Nicely stated. @ai1sa in reply to jswann #
I got three samples of stones to consider for the labyrinth I want to build in the spring. They all look nice sitting on the grass. #
@saadat_m Writing up my analysis now; plan to finish later in 2012 (with all fingers crossed!). When are you hoping to be done? in reply to saadat_m #
@saadat_m All the best for that conference. I am looking for ones to submit to for 2013; need time to write for them and plan travel. in reply to saadat_m #
Graduate School Advice Series: 10 Things You Should Know Before Starting A PhD http://t.co/PndBTYBp via @nextscientist #
@SueFolley I appreciate all the confidence I can get. in reply to SueFolley #
@Druids_Calendar Do you know your website is down? #
@ai1sa Indeed, the bigger the part the more perhaps I will move. in reply to ai1sa #
@saadat_m How is your research coming? Have seen lots of interesting Tweets, though missed hearing about the progress. #
@damagedidentity and consumerism and spending as a religion is surprising to you? 😉 in reply to damagedidentity #
@ai1sa Thanks! To be honest, so do I. Can't wait to see it in the rear-view mirror. I do need to move on (though to what, I am not sure). in reply to ai1sa #
@ai1sa One of these days I will tell you what I was doing in 2004, and you will understand . . . in reply to ai1sa #
@ai1sa and in each iteration it gets better and better! #phdchat in reply to ai1sa #
With @keithschofield and @ai1sa and @SueFolley about to submit, I feel left behind. Nothing like an incentive to speed up! #phdchat #
@ai1sa Exactly, far from abandoned! Of course people will be kind; you are fortunate as you write so well!! in reply to ai1sa #
@keithschofield I won't ask about the typewriter and the hard returns at the end of each line (I have seen the latter via Word, <shivers>). in reply to keithschofield #
@keithschofield Goodness, you really are masochistic, especially being so young! Well, no point in considering it now you are nearly done. in reply to keithschofield #
@keithschofield I can relate. For good or bad, I can relate! in reply to keithschofield #
@keithschofield Excellent. Do you envision preparing and such as some people do? in reply to keithschofield #
@keithschofield Are you doing all this manually, or did you use #Scrivener or #Papers or the like to help with automation and consistency? in reply to keithschofield #
@keithschofield How long from when you submit to when the viva gets scheduled? #phdchat in reply to keithschofield #
@keithschofield Well, worry about feeling that once you get approved 😉 in reply to keithschofield #
@keithschofield I could not imagine study with the FT work; somehow would just not feel honest or independent. in reply to keithschofield #
@keithschofield Is today final review of formats, consistency, and the like? in reply to keithschofield #
@keithschofield Most excellent! Did not know you were so close. I now feel like such a slacker. in reply to keithschofield #
@keithschofield Your thesis?? in reply to keithschofield #
@keithschofield Phew, now all is right with the world. I do need some of the focus as I got nothing done yesterday. in reply to keithschofield #
@ai1sa @jswann Ouch, abandoned is such a strong term for something I prefer to think of as developing interests. in reply to ai1sa #
@keithschofield No, never enough! You mean you have to leave the computer and deal with that scary stuff out there F2F?! Ha!! #phdchat in reply to keithschofield #
@AmandaMichelle @mandlods I do need to tweak headings for TOC and long quote indents after exporting #Scrivener text #phdchat in reply to AmandaMichelle #
@AmandaMichelle @mandlods Able to do much of my formatting with a #Scrivener APA template #phdchat in reply to AmandaMichelle #
@JaneDavis13 Keep up the focus, as hard as we all know it to be. in reply to JaneDavis13 #
@SueFolley You will be fantastic; show us the way it is done! #phdchat in reply to SueFolley #
@rjdickie72 Observations are from places of perspective, like 4 views of an accident from different directions. We see what we want to see. in reply to rjdickie72 #
@rjdickie72 Interviews are always subjective, and while we may want to be "neutral," there is never neutrality in inter-personal research. in reply to rjdickie72 #
@rjdickie72 Ahh, though by your stating "I believe methods are…" does posit aspects of a personal philosophy. in reply to rjdickie72 #
