Last week involved a lot of things that involved a lot of brainpower on my part. I had to do a tricky interpolation of a dataset, get a multi-directory, F77/F90 source dependency generator working, re-factor a bunch of F77 I/O into some F90 that I can then wrench around to do as I require, and some analysis on some data to send to a model comparison.

It was all going swimmingly until things started breaking late Thursday. Then come Friday, everything that could have gone wrong over the whole week did. And that’s why I’m sitting here in the office on Saturday, plodding in a new sentence or whatnot with each short re-analysis until I get things done. There are things I missed in my work on Monday that led me here- silly errors that still resulted in things coming out to the right pattern and the right order of magnitude, but threw model results for a tizzy. I suppose that’s why I’m not too grumbly about things, but damnit, I was supposed to take down my Christmas tree this weekend! It’s been up so long the cat’s lost interest in it!
