Disorganised Day
Have just been disorganised today. Despite attempting to do things in a methodical manner, I just kept stuffing up. I left just taking my shoulder bag full of stuff but it wasn't enough. I'd looked high and low for my 16Gb memory stick and couldn't find it so I bought an 8Gb one at Jesmond on the way into uni9versity. Later I found that I had the 16Gb one in my shoulder bag! I also bought a cheap backpack at Jesmond when it became apparent that I had too many bags and shit to carry and use a walking stick at the same time. It was a good move as my old one which I bought in 2010 is pretty worn out by now (and I can no longer find that brand anywhere).
But - the stop took time. I got maybe three hours of work/research done at uni today. Barely enough to get started. I lost Friday when I wasn't well enough to go out, and yesterday when I took Gabby to the vets and back. That means I've just lost the two extra days I asked for on getting my confirmation documentation in. Part of the problem was a decision to move all my research stuff to the "P Drive" at university. This is a generic networked student drive. The advantage was that I could go to any PC on campus and still access the same drive and my files. I found out today that this wasn't true - Student Services uses a different P Drive!
I have copied my files to the 8Gb memory stick and will shortly see if I can use Endnote and the copying of journal database entries to that at home. If I can, then I will stay home tomorrow and save 2hours of travel time. We'll see. Was going to work on this tonight but fell asleep for 3 hours after dinner. Feel exhausted and washed out, but this must be done.
