Since Friday night I have input 268 references to Endnote. I'm going quite goggle-eyed with it. I discovered that the first time I wrote "Systematic Zoology" in the journal box I missed out an "o", so now all my reference from that journal are apparently in "Systematic Zoolgy". I wish Endnote had the option to auto-complete publishers too, as I'm getting worryingly good at writing "Cambridge University Press" in about two seconds.
The household decision has been made - we need more filing cabinets. Having reinstated all the reprints flying around the house, my existing cabinet is full at just over 220 references. I could probably fit more in, but it would be at the expense of being able to find the references easily by name and by topic. So two more filing cabinets have been ordered and I'm going to be hard pressed to work out whether the non-sleeping, non-cooking, non-bathing room in the house is a lounge or an office.
I'm pining for the days when I had an office. I'm really pining for those few months when I was at the Natural History Museum and I had an office all to myself. While I can't afford to take the 50% pay cut necessary to be a full-time PhD student, I'd love to have an extra room for the work. This is going to suck. And before you ask, if we could afford a two-bedroom place, we'd have one...
But for now, the filing cabinets will have to form a "feature" either side of the fireplace.
