the cat ate my research (!!)

This is a true story.

Pictured above: My consent to interview forms after Kiwi bit a large chunk out of the stack.

Not only is Kiwi our fattest, most voracious cat, ss you can see, he's also rather indiscriminate when he has the munchies.

Nevertheless, inspite of Kiwi's interference, my fieldwork got off to a wonderful start this week. On Monday, my 3-person research team visited 3 garment companies and administered 55 surveys today, which is an all time high. Tomorrow we will be traversing l'ile again to carry out 60 more. Thus, after 10 days in the filed, we have completed nearly 200 surveys... leaving 4 weeks to carry out the remaining 500 to 600. Suddenly seems managable.

Returning to the previous thread on crafty cats, check out what Marley, the mother of all our no-longer-very-"wee"-ones succeeded in doing last Sunday.

That's right.. she successfully knocked both cushions off the couch and arranged it so that the second one was stacked perfectly on top of the first.

Mon dieu... it's amazing the things you can do without opposable thumbs...
