Every day, a new instruction came down from above, while data came in from below.
I'd take the data, integrate it into the existing dataset, then rerun all the analysis using the new instructions. There was always another new idea. Focus on the mean survival time, categorise the deaths via methodology, ignore all those who died before processes had been completed.
The rare times I had a chance to discuss things with my direct supervisor, I'd asked when this might be all over. She shook her head and explained there was always going to be one more.
Upstairs were indecisive.
