Slow Day of Data

With the GPS problems from last week preventing us from booking homestead visits for this week, I was left with an 'office' day today (and most of yesterday too!!)

I wish I knew more about Microsoft Access or better yet had the program! Its pretty expensive to get the version of Office that has Access included so as it stands I am exporting the data I have from the study to Excel... Its an ok system. Since I know Excel pretty well, I can use it to look at the data... But everything I read online about Access say that it is the best for looking at databases... Also I lose some of the connections with the data in the switch from Access --> Excel, so it becomes a matter of manually matching up results in the spreadsheet... That has been what has occupied most of my day...

I also managed to try to plan ahead for the lectures next week when I am at the AVMA Conference. Never imagined that there could be 20 hours of lectures on reptile cardiology!! But I think I have a pretty good mix of subjects to check out when I am there! I'm pretty excited to get back for it and to see all my fellow SGU students that will be headed there.

Anyways, sorry about the boring post today... If anyone is great with databases, let me know when I get back.

Wow... this was a lame post. Oh!! I almost forgot, I saw a Mongoose yesterday! It was dead on the side of the road. Thats all I got...
