Continued torture

[stgulik]

The paper I mentioned in December, the one that was supposed to be finished Dec. 30, was given a much-needed extension. Reviewer comments showed us we had more investigation and more write-up to do. So our new deadline was set for next Friday, a week from today.

And then, we drink.

But wait! We cannot drink yet! Because the next day, my daughter moves out. Yes, she and her friend Ashley finally found an apartment close to campus and fairly close to our house (to take advantage of laundry privileges, I am informed). So I think most of the weekend will be taken up with helping them box up their stuff and hauling it to their new place. But after that! Oh, yes!

It's a public policy paper about an old set of laws. Do the laws still serve the public? Or should we ditch them? I wanted to write a high-level overview--say, cool 20 pages' worth of analysis. My boss had other ideas. Now the paper is 60 pages and counting!
