445 @_@

Chaos. Simply chaos.

Our problems included the following:
-having virtually everyone come in early/late and having to wait
-accidently assigning subjects to the wrong conditions
-somehow missing or skipping certain subject numbers (always, always, always tell everyone to READ THE INSTRUCTION BEFORE CLICKING "START")... if you need to restart them, you can't use the number again so some of them are skipped
-the dept. calling us about the money slips some people have been taking to them. The condition where the subjects get money is NOT working out for us... not only have we had issues with the slips themselves (Jane was too rushed to fill them all out properly), we're not actually keeping track of how much everyone is getting and if/when they get it
-running them through the wrong experiment (I almost ran a girl through 445 instead of 407, because I thought we were done with 407 for the day)... I can't guarantee that we didn't accidently run someone through the wrong experiment today though... =\

408: Emily and I are running Fri/Sat sessions this week from 11-5 (last subject at 4:00). We're having some problems with the Excel sheet, in that the "Cumulative Bad" column stops adding the proper cells together at 261... We changed some manually but can't figure out how to get it to do it automatically.

I am so high-tailing it out of here as soon as Pierce steps in the door.
