Ya know, chocolate chip cookies and a couple of episodes of the Oblongs can cure just about anything.

Excel is my bitch!!

I finally figured out how to get my x axis labels to disappear w/out losing the entire x axis line across the bottom.

I WIN!

Take that bitch!

*deep breath*

Okay, the cookies and Oblongs helped, but putting this into presentation format really helps. I think best that way because I've never written a paper before. No, don't get me wrong, I've done gadzooks of research papers and such, and those I'm good at. But those, all written, no figures to dilly dally over and debate how to present and to hyperventilate over the fact that you've never formatted a figure for a PAGE instead of an overhead/slide projector.

It's really a different way of thinking and I was getting too hung up on the nitty gritty details instead of getting my story in order.

So now, we get story in order (and hopefully most of the slides will be easily modifiable to figure format), do a ton of reading in preparation for both meeting and writing, and wala, it will all be done (and the little grad student that could keeps reapeating "I think I will get a PhD, I think I will").

*hugs poisontaster and luridmuse* Just cause, babes.

12 slides down, I think my back deserves a tad of rest before I determine if I'm going to keep plowing on tonight. *hides eyes from pile of clean clothes that have needed to be put away for a week, bigger pile of dirty clothes waiting for laundry, and the filthy kitchen floor calling me to clean it*
