Duh

Funny how the brain works. My first thought upon waking this morning:

“keep if e(sample)”

Second thought: “Duh, that is so obvious.”

These thoughts were after waking from a dream in which my department was having a new position search, and I was applying for the position (??). Part of the dream was a conversation with one of my current colleagues asking him whether I should present some research on Mexico or something cross-national and quantitative. The good news was that I was on the short list for this position, and I think I applied for it because it paid more than my current position. The dream wasn’t really a nervous or stressful dream. Could this be related to my third year review? Probably. (Except the raise part….unfortunately.)

Back to work.
