All right! Back from all vacation and stat holidays and working hard. Just had a quick meeting last week. Here are the highlights:

1. Hot or Not:
- Angele kindly ran the rating bit while I was away. As of the meeting last week, she was supposed to be getting me the data.
- When she did, it turned out that there were some big problems with the spreadsheet - numbers not matching up, etc. I took Thursday to fix this stuff and get it 100% right.
- gave it back to Angele to update the data on it now that everything was correct, but didn't get this back until Friday afternoon because her computer was overheating
- however, I have now finished the list of the top 48 people in each group and have adjusted the whole thing until the average ratings were the same for each group.
- have given back to Angele to add to E-Prime
- also need to have a quick look at the inter-subject variability
- with any luck, should be testing by next week for sure

2. SD Review - attempting to set up a meeting for Thursday afternoon, but have only been hearing from Ben sporadically.

3. List of things that need fixing in lab: forgot about this with all the excitement of moving. Will email to Mark ASAP.

4. NSERC timeline - will ask Robin but think she is on holidays just now.

5. On the to-do list: grad student progress report and TA applications are both due, but both are in progress.

Also, in other big news, we have moved labs! Asma and I put together our fancy new chairs today and they are great. (Have also shelled out for a memory foam pillow, so hopefully no more debilitating pinched nerves and whatnot). Liking the new place so far, even if it is only temporary.
