I'd use an external drive and just build the catalog on the external drive.

When you get home, open the external drive catalog and use the "export as 
catalog" function to transfer everything to the permanent drive.? 

(I use a "bad practice" of using different catalogs for each major function 
- each project or client has its own catalog.? I don't like having 
everything in one tree - I' rather have some actual organization to the file 
structure.? Personal quirk.)

If you're shooting stock, you could work with a combination of import/export 
to get there.? I'd ask Tina about that; it's more what she does, I think.
