Journey 7 am

Good morning!  I'm working from home today, which can be a disaster if I don't watch myself, so I'll be checking in regularly.  I have my yearly female-type checkup this afternoon, so I need to get as much done before noon as possible. 

Right now, I'm going to go out to the car and get my work computer, read email, then exercise for 30 minutes. 

Journey

journey 9 am

email taken care of.  office phone forwarded to home, gettingn on treadmill for 30 min and then taking a quick shower and getting completely dressed and ready.  back by 10

Journey

Journey 11:00

been back for an hour but didnt' take a shower yet, going to do that right, back in 20 min, no dawdling!

Journey

Journey 11:20

back!  now, work on WPS project until time to go to doc. 
1) outline of steps WE need to take
2) backward planning/timeline
3) thinking about steps to create new servers aas needed

That should keep me busy until time to go to my appointment.  I have a conference call at 3:00 but I don't know if I'll make it as I'll probably be in stirrups about that time.  It took months to get an appointment with this new doc so I'm not rescheduling.  "Excuse me doc, I have to take this call, do you mind??"

An hour late to lab, not so great :(
I did finish my weekly planning at home. I organized house jobs (which I'd forgotten I needed to do today), rather than writing expt. descriptions. Now back on track!
I'll start with something easy, spending an hour or so catching up on biology journals. Check in when I'm done with that.
UPDATE 10:50 journal reading going slowly, but I've gotten through the latest issue of Genome Research; I'm going to go through the last issue of Nature genetics and then move on to some other work.

kromer 11:15 CI

Finished my catch-up on journals. Now, I will analyze my THEME results from last week. This should take about an hour and a half. I'll check in when I'm done.
EDIT 11:30 I found the files I need, and have a plan for the analysis.
Step 1) review how to use the script compile_THEME_results.py
Add a summary of using this script to my how-tos page. Started 11:30, DONE 12:00

--10 min break, back at 1:10--
Step 3) Find names and Transfac motifs associated with canonical TFs Started 1:15 DONE 1:40
--Wow, this analysis is taking much longer than I thought! I think I'm making good progress, though--
Step 4) Find PFAM ids associated with canonical TFs Started 1:45 DONE 2:15
Step 5) Generate logos for relevant transfac motifs Started 2:20 DONE 3:20
Step 6)Look over results, write up a short summary Started 3:20 DONE 3:35
Step 7 (really that last step this time))Make logos for FBPs, post, look over Started 3:35 DONE 3:50
--After this is done, I'm going to go for a run, then do some work from home (can't stand lab any more today :rolleyes:)--
