    :shhh: dont tell everyone

    have done the massive bit for my boss now :D

    just trying to get motivated to do the one bit of work i have been putting off for far to long, mainly becuase of the difficulty in the presentation because the managers all want nice pretty graphs and most of the time the data you get from the patient surveys does not go overly well into pretty graphs

    :mad: to managers
    :mad: to pretty graphs

    You just need more practice: I can graph telephone numbers and they end up looking swizzy... ;)

    Unbelievable-just had a call from the estate agents who are marketing deceased mother-in-laws house. Apparently, someone viewed it and would like to buy it, the problem is she has 2 smaller houses to sell first...so she wondered if we would be interested in doing a "swap"..her 2 small ones for MIL's...leaving us with TWO places to sell....2 lots of agents fees,2 lots of stamp duty etc............sorry,but what's in it for me??

    Unless there is a big fat discount (BFD) - there's nothing in it for you...

    Sorry you didn't get an interview Luc, its so carp and there is so much competition for jobs thats its hard. I think you too would be excellent setting up on your own, and at first you can do all the ground work with N around saving on childcare :)

    oh i can make them look swizzy as well, the only problem with that is you tend to lose all meaning to the data,

    and when it comes to analysis of patient surveys i want to try and keep the general concensus of the data noticable - however herein lies the problem,

    since every patient has different experience and a different expectations the nature of the data is swayed against these expectations meaning that the nice pretty graph that managers would like with a positive trend clearly visable is not always possible

    even if you know a person giving a bad experience had expectations in the region of having there own personnal servent - these opinions have to be shown and taken into account
