Ego Bruise

Well, shit.

Today, at 4pm, the deadline for submission to SRCD will pass, without a submission from yours truly.

I am deeply, miserably disappointed.

The data I have spent the last three months coding just doesn't correlate to what we thought it would. There's nothing there.

It is possible that we will still find correlations with other things we study in the lab, but there isn't enough time to start a new analysis. There's always next year, right?

...

Disappointment is a state that I feel particularly ill-equipped at recovering from. I practice a healthy amount of skepticism, realism and pessimism to buffer myself from it, but alas, it sneaks in one way or another.
