I've decided that transcript may be tedious but in some way's it's very rewarding. Right now I'm working doing some transcription work for a member of my department who is working on her dissertation. I'm not going to go in depth (because that would be unethical...I'm sure the interviews were conducted with a statement concerning confidentiality) but listening to the stories being told by this old couple of the trials and tribulations they had to face in life is heartbreaking but at the same time it makes me want to meet them. They're very much the salt of the earth, but they stress honesty, hard work, perseverance, and equality. I mean if they really live the way they talk it makes you want to be a better person. This isn't even my project and I guess I can see how people can become intimately involved in their interviews. Weird.
