In the dim recesses of my research cavern, great things are happening. There is a party in full swing, a disco ball spinning, coloured lights bouncing off the walls, printer humming along with the deep bass of a hard drive--oh yes, its a celebration in my office, and I am doing the ***I FOUND THE MOTHERLODE OF ALL RELEVANT RESEARCH** DANCE. I feel like Wiley E Coyote--you know, GENIUS AT WORK! It is one of those rare but thrilling moments in research! I am so thrilled! I am so thrilled! I am so thrilled!
Given the dismal nature of the PhD on some days, its worth having my own private celebration on this...! and not too many non PhD types would recognise the thrill of finding the seminal work by the seminal author on a common concept whose origins have been lost and blurred!!! =)))
