Trasnscribing is almost DONE!!!

Yesterday Jack and I worked for hours on transcribing our one hour and five minute interview with homeschooling mom Carol, and her almost thirteen-year-old son, Liam. We had been procrastinating up till then, (who wants to sit in front of a computer screen for that long?), but realized that we couldn't put it off any longer. We bit the bullet as they say, and got it done (well, maybe we have five more minutes to transcribe, but...)! Responding to what Crystal was saying about working together in our pairs, I couldn't give any advice yet, since Jack and I seem to work very well together. Even sitting there, transcribing together (two hours per every 15 minutes of recorded time), we didn't have any problems. Jack fidgeted through the whole thing ("If there was ever I time I was going to kill myself, it would be now..."), but we made it through alive. I can definitely see how there could have been friction, though. And we haven't started framing yet, so we'll see... :)
