Being stuck in boring meetings, I either leave, or discretely work on other work stuff. Usually email, data analysis, a report, etc.

Now if it is MY boring meeting, then I've really screwed up!

BTW, not sure why people are being so sensitive - I never revealed what I consider a high PPD? Do those being sensitive think they themselves have a high PPD? I passed no such judgement.

Think I'll run some stats on myself over the weekend. Max, min (zero obviously), standard deviation, etc. I'm sure I'll be wrong, but I'll be close to accurate. My guess is I'll skew greatly toward 0-1 posts per day, and have a standard deviation significantly higher than my PPD. Of course both average and standard deviation are problematic since one cannot have less than zero posts in a given day. Have to really dust off my stats to recall proper mathematics on that. Frankly, I predict I'll grab a beer and make the executive decision to simplify by assuming a normal distribution.


Stat results - undoubtedly wrong but close. Posts through Friday, 9/2/05. Skew on median is interesting. Difficulty formating columns in FT?
