she claims she cannot read times new roman. Such is life.
I hope collective bad thoughts might help her have a bit of a hard time.

Such is lfe. We have done the honarary thing and got her a good luck card and we will get her something to say congrats. Its not my view that we should but the groups view that we should I said hey we all have to go thru the process... why congratulate her for being late?!

the woman wont give feedback unless its in Word. If she used tracking then fair enough but she prints it out and then puts comments on it. I find this a bit annoying.
She wanted me to use Eudora because then I could send her emails in arial...

I am in the process of sorting out my report to the way that she wants it.... she says i am slacking and being lazy. She said just because I am getting offers to do presentations and taking part in panel sessions - it means nothing becuase I find it difficult to handle details and therefore my thesis is going to be difficult to write.

I am going to do my 9month report then reassess the situation.

the woman has stopped me from using latex and bibtec... i wanted to use reference manager but now I have to use word and endnote. ITS DRIVING ME INSANE. i use to use pine to check my email but she kept nagging me to use Eudora... which i hate so I now use outlook which she is now happy with. ITS MY REPORT.... let me write it how i want...

I want her to fail... if the woman gets on a power trip thats my path to insanity. She was really stressed about her viva today and took it out on my report. She had a go at me for using Times New Roman font instead of Ariel... along with other things. Some things she says are really cool and I dont mind. But others take the mick.

If she fails I will be happy but I doubt she willl....

considering my supervisor gave me shit today - i want you to all pray that she fails her phd viva on thursday. Her internal is a very good friend of hers and her external is someone she doesnt know but is a good mate of her internal. Failiure is not really an option... but I guess I can try to pray for her to get major corrections.

why not check to see if your abstract/slides/paper is going to be put on the intranet .... cos then atleast that way itd be secure somewhat.
