Either.
ProcrastiPro is annoyed that what was supposed to be a 1-hour nap turned into 7 hours of sleep, but is now getting on with it.
That's funny Chrisrolinski!
I am not utterly convinced at this hour of the night, and when I'm this far behind, that there is any after-phd state (not sure whether it should be called a life, precisely)... Certainly there may not be an afterjob, but best not to contemplate that one - I, at least, still feel compelled to believe in the possibility! ;-)
Ah, dvds...what were they again? ;-) One of those things we get in the 'After' life?
Wishing y'all more motivation tonight than I have myself!
ProcrastiPro is reading a mountain of marginally relevant pamphlets, probably to avoid writing a concluding paragraph...and incidentally is eating everything in sight.
Hey, you're doing great, you'll get there. :-) I know I don't normally post on this thread, just filling in temporarily for people who have gone to bed!
Oh good, hope it goes well Lara, you seem to be on a roll anyway! I'm supposed to be finishing a paper, but can't seem to stop looking up unnecessary stuff on silly databases. And then have a chapter overdue.
Are you writing too, 404?
Anybody else toiling away on a Saturday night, soon to be Sunday morning? ("sniff") Actually self-pity is not called for - I had loads of sleep last night...
I'll claim whichever one moves the slowest!
Thanks Chris, but you can't have my name, I am THE pro in that department unfortunately :=p
And Lara, thanks & good luck too, I know all about snail's pace! but we'll get there.
I have a Dr Pepper in reserve, really can't face any more tea for a while.
Trying to write as well...nice to see someone else is still up. I just need 1200 words more, which is not a big deal, but having trouble focusing on work!
I really liked Shalimar the Clown as well, also Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell. The structure in CA seems a little gimmicky at first, but it's still a good story (/ies).
Curiosity and a touch of romanticism (or insanity, there's a fine line between the two).
This may sound strange, but I think this particular version is a little bit hard on the supervisor in places. Just picking a random minor point - why should my supervisor have to make sure I submit funding reports on time? Of course I expect him to sign off his part of such things on time (which he invariably does, lucky me :=7), but I don't feel neglected because I have to take the initiative.
