I got a very frustrating email from my PhD advisor last night. I spent three months working on my dissertation between the last version and the one he just saw, but based on his comments it looks like it got worse. I really need to finish this thing so I can move on to other areas of life, but at this rate it seems like I never will.

Hugs!!!! I know how you feel. Breathe. Go for a walk. Have acoffe or another BEvERage, if you are so inclined. And then focus on what the new changes he wants really are.

But then again, why has your advisor let you go 3 months without reading thru your progress? Methinks your advisor is being a bit of an ass.

Good luck!

Start wearing one of those ponchos that you were modeling earlier. Hot. It'll change your luck most likely.

ctg: Yeah, I'm trying to relax a little, but it's not easy. My advisor reads what I send him, I just had been working on that rev for 3 months. Eh. Thanks for the sympathy.

DD: I'm not having problems getting lucky!

The comment login system is acting strange. If you get an error message saying you aren't logged in when you are, just reload the comment page and try again. I'm trying to track this bug down, but it's not easy.
