Referencing Interviews: Can of Worms

Can opened.  Worms everywhere.

I have to go back through my text and, because my group interviews were anonymous, code the responses more efficiently than simple 'respondent A/B/C' so they have a unique code, and therefore, reference each. 

This is very obvious but I am sad I only just found this bloody out.  I have gone back trhough my interviews and written out how many and of each gender, took part in the woik, and given them a code number.  Now I will need to go through the text and reference these individually.  This is a pain in the ass but it does mean that my research will look very research-y.  The rest of the interviews, encdotal and informal ones in guesthouses and the streets etc I listed from my fieldwork diary last night with times and dates etc so can just pop them in.

 My sister was ill yesterday so didn't visit and DB was shopping all day so I was with beanie (was a marvellous lazy day in his company.  we haven't seen enough of each other recently due to WORK).  She can make it today tho hurrah and will be here in an hour-ish!  She will be here until tomorrow even'time so I might have to do some work while she is here.  Or Sunday morning.  It isn't brain work, just needs to be done and is quicker if I am left to it and not interrupted.

So am not quite having the break off for xmas that I hoped for but is more break than work which suits me fine.  I shall definitely not be working Monday afternoon, Tuesday (xmas day!) or boxing day.  Thurs, Fri and Sat I will be busy reading through the draft (which I have concluded is lacking a LOT and am considering adding to it tho I know I shouldn't.  Tinker, tinker).  And Sunday will be the last day to sort of think about it and then decide it is ready for sending...  Monday I shall be free!  I have spyed a bottle of moet et chandon in the fridge and it has submission written all over it :) 

Anyways can't sit here gassing, better get referencing!

Am not even going to mention the fact that I haven't finished shopping for DB's stocking and have completely missed the deadline to get one of his presents .  Oh 'eck.
