042016 (Wed) 4:15: rough first draft of report completed, party planning for friday coordinated with ed. feeling feverish so i'm taking off 30 minutes early.

041516 (Fri) 12:30: reexamine psql tables and start finalizing data for article. Not sure how much I'll be able to do today since I'm only here for 1 hour; bulk of work happening mon/wed.

041516 (Fri) 1:30: starting refining the data is going to be a beast i don't want to get started today and not be able to finish. So today i'm going to plan the party for friday.

041316 (Wed) 3:00: done! play w results on friday

041116 (Mon) 1:00: play with data tables. We have a working table for total percentage of women, so now do it by state, city, round no. Try to get some solidified results that I can use in the research report. Management meeting @4.

041116 (Mon) 4:30: computer died. left early. need to upload table, join

040816 (Fri) 12:30: reformat tables w new data pulled

040816 (Fri) 3:00: IT WORKS! next steps are to refine data. need: to group by year by percent women CEO's? (although total percentage of women is already minuscule, so I'm not sure how revealing it would be to further group by jobtitle), still have the doctor subset of the data problem. figure out any other things we might want to discover (group by state? city? no rounds?)

040616 (Wed) 1:00: continue w lit review (1.5 hours), one last go at getting commonnames to properly work (1 hour), w remaining time work on either manually assigning womanman variable to names or proceed with data analysis if by some miracle the commonnames thing works.

040616 (Wed) 5:00: lit review, one last go at common names, prepped to join tables before realizing that neither of them had founding dates. repulled data from SDC, ran perl script on it. Friday, start with reformatting tables with new data pulled.

040416 (Mon) 1:00: clean up commonnames data sheet and get that thing up and running correctly! do some work on lit review since i was gone on Friday. management meeting at 4.
