I've learned a very valuable lesson in the last 24 hours: transcription is horrible.
I'm doing a little work for another student, and all I'm going to say is that I had no idea how long it takes to do a single tape. It's taking me at least three or four times longer than each tape's length to finish the transcription. My eyes are glazing over, my ears are pinched from the headphones, and I've begun promising myself little rewards to keep going. Two more questions and you can have dinner, one more tape and you can have ice cream, stuff like that.
Suffice it to say that I was probably the person most pleased to be caught out in the rain during the afternoon fire alarm today.
