I finished all my work for Belmont over a month ago, and it's been a relief. I really enjoy teaching, but I have some really interesting consulting projects, and I still had to get my girls through their school. And today, we're officially finished!
The two younger girls finished up a couple of week ago. My oldest finished up her last set of book reports today, and we put them in the mail.
I finished up my programming project (and was paid promptly). It was nice to be working in SAS again. It had been a long time. It was nice to know I could still work on SAS macros.
It also inspired me to work on my Visual Basic program again for user-defined holidays. I had started it at Census as a SAS macro, but I want to get it into something more practical than SAS. I also want to do some research on different kinds of Easter effects and other related holidays for the Joint Statistical Meetings of the American Statistical Association in 2009.
Next week I hope to sign some contracts for another fun seasonal adjustment project. It looks to be a very exciting summer for me!

About Me
- Catherine
- I am a follower of Jesus Christ, a mother of four, a statistician, and a musician. After almost 15 years at my good government job in the Washington DC area, and after a year working on contracts for Eurostat while living in Luxembourg, I now run my own statistical consulting business. I also teach statistics and quantitative literacy at Belmont University because they give me very good health insurance.
