When I get home and sit on the couch, if I'm not petting Monty enough she jumps around until she has her front paws on the couch arm and her rear ones on the couch on the other side of me, so she can smash her barn door body sideways into my face while hitting me with her tail.
This is a great location for seeing that she has another big lump forming under one of her nipples, so it might be back to the vet for breast cancer round two.
I have this charming coworker, my closest friend at work, and happily we often get handed two halves of the same project so we work together a lot. He wants a particular area investigated, so I go design a bunch of tests and run them, and write up the results, and send them to him.
When I do this, I send him an excel spreadsheet, that is titled with what we've decided to call the test, and the tabs of the spreadsheet are labeled with what part of the test they contain, including one labelled "results and plots" that has only relevant information on it, graphically presented. In the email I mention the name of the test, what I tested, and where in the spreadsheet it's located.
I send him one of these pretty much every other day for a month and a half.
About once a week he's all "oh hey do you have any data on that one test we did last week?"
So I send him the same spreadsheet, with a paragraph in the email specifically pointing out where it is.
About twenty minutes later he'll stop by my office with his laptop and say "can we go over this, and you can show me where the data is and how to interpret it?"
So I think I am doing something drastically wrong in how I present data, but I'm not yet sure what it is. When I ask him he always says "oh, what you send is great: all the stuff I need is in there." But I'm pretty sure that's not right.
