I love survey design more than nearly any other aspect of doin surveys. Looking at/processing the data is cool but you know what's amazing? Finding the clearest possible wording that will stand up to a thousand diff minds trying to interpret it any way other than what you meant.

I'm really behind on publishing results from previous surveys. But I do want to publish them!

I do this for a job. It's most amazing when you test it with people and realise they interpret it in ways you couldn't possibly imagine

Maybe there's an analogy to software development hidden somewher: For me it's more fun to think of a clean, simple and expressive architecture and layout of code than to actually write and use it...

Sounds a bit like copywriting for consumer products, which I find more fun than I would have guessed.
