This interview I just finished transcribing is actually relatively decent! I asked all the right questions, I probed in all the right places, and I got some very interesting stuff.
I have one more interview from this population, and then I have three or four or five more from another population, and then, I think, I'm finished. I really ought to know how many interviews I have in total. This is ridiculous.
