Yesterday I submitted a paper. And also resubmitted one that came back from the referees a while ago with lots of comments in need of attention.
Submitting a paper is a bit like submitting a fic to an archive. Except at least 20 times more complicated. But the procedure's broadly the same except you don't have to give it a content rating. Took me most of the day to submit those two manuscripts.
One has, amusingly, been rejected already (before 7am this morning!!). ("Outside the scope of this journal" - not enough genetics, apparently.) So now we hit the fun bit of deciding what journal to try next, and reformat/rewrite accordingly. I'm not particularly disappointed - I know it'll be published somewhere, so it's just a question of where, and when.
Went to a little conference today. Ran into some old friends/acquaintances from previous conferences. Decided I was too dopey to cope with the AGM, which was scheduled just before lunch, so went to the pub with the other PhD students and enjoyed a long lunch break. Some interesting talks, chances to meet new people. Enjoyed myself.
Mulled wine party tomorrow, which should be fun. :D
Everyone in the world seems to be sick again. Fortunately I seem to be OK.
