Does the calibration process alter the results?

So, I finished my calibration. Was quite happy with it.
Next day I tested again to see if I ll get the same results. The difference was not huge, but big enough. For example instead of gamma 2.2 I got gamma 2.7. Instead of deltas being lower than 3 for the grayscale they were around 5.
So, I decided to calibrate again. After an hour of fiddling with the settings, I decided to test my original (yesterday's) settings again.
Perfect results again! Like the way they were the previous day.
So, I am thinking that the process of calibration produces results that dont reflect the real world.
Maybe we should harry up and finish the calibration within 10 minutes? But that would be unreasonable.

Wouldn't that all depend on your meter and whether you did the calibration correctly or not?

I've had good results with my meter and I get similar results the next day. When I first started I had a few issues but noticed the lighting was different or a device had a blue led shining on the screen enough to throw off the results. I don't make those same mistakes now though.
