I wen to work yesterday and was feeling like crap, but I can't afford to take two shifts off, and I had planned to go in today to make up my hours for Tuesday's shift. For my advanced research methods class, we have to conduct an interview AND record it, so that we can transcribe the thing Verbatim. So I conducted my interview on Tuesday since that thing was cancelled. I got half way throught the transcription process on yesterday before work. This afternoon I sat down to finish it and for whatever ridiculous reason the thing had no volume and I couldn' hear anything. The tape was playing, but something happened to the volume. So I went and tried to record something new, on a new tape, and it would no longer record, I changed the batteries twice, and then I cried. I was so upset. I was half way done, only need the stupid recorder for one more interview, and then it's useless to me. I called Jackie to see if she had a little tape recorder that I could borrow, just to finish my transcription. She didn't, but offeredto walk to Walmart with me to see if we could get a new one for a decent price. We went over and the cheapest one was $40! It works awesome and the sound is great, but I'll never use it again after this second interview. What a huge waste of cash, although I might just return the thing after I'm done my second interview, Walmart will take anything back, I've got the receipt. I got done and my interview is 21 pages. I'm do stuffed up and congested. I also have to write two more papers tomorrow and Sunday, oh...no wait....more than that cause I've got stuff to do for my developmental issues class. I'm going to go make myself a cup of neo citron and snuggle with the puppy..Write later
P.S: are you doing anything exciting for your birthday mom? :)
