It could always be worse, I suppose
Sep. 19th, 2005 05:08 pmI knew last night that I was
going to start transcribing interviews again now that the article is
done. So I had massive anxiety and had insomnia at the front
end. Couldn't fall asleep for forever, but when I did, it stuck.
So I'm transcribing a little at a time.
I just have to remind myself that it could always be worse. And it's the tiny little things that bother me. For this one, it's the fact that the guy called her for a date 2 days afterward. He was either really cruel or completely ignorant. I tend to think it was just that he was clueless. But that's almost more upsetting. 20 years later, she's still completely traumatized and he doesn't even know he did anything wrong. She seems nice though, really smart. She's an academic.
This one is going to bother me, I can tell. I have to wonder if I'm even cut out for this. I'm going to have to read Becki's book again. This just gets too hard sometimes.
