E-mail exchange AFTER the interview

@ 03:27 PM (6 months, 22 days ago)

Still waiting on my interviewee to send me the electronic copy of our interview.  For two reasons, I realize now that I shouldn't have agreed to let him send it to me -- I should have just said "That's okay.  Let's burn this quickly and I'll be ready to type"  -- or something diplomatic like that. (1) He's going the extra mile and 'cleaning up' the audio so I can transcribe it easily.  (2) I am dependent on him to send me the file when he is done -- and that might be AFTER my assignment is due. 

During this research process I gotta be more assertive.  I had no game plan about how to respond when he said he would do this, so it's my fault.  I don't think quickly on my feet when I have to make decisions.

Paste of email exchange below. I have changed the email addresses and demographics for autonomy.

Brian,

Did you send me the audio file and I have just missed it?

Thanks again and again for the interview yesterday.  It certainly helped me
get my assignment done, but it also helps to further my thinking in my
research project for summer.  I appreciate your help.
