hi Ian,
It must have taken a lot to hold yourself back! well done! thanks for sharing

hi Eds, shoulder and awsoci,
thanks for your replies. Just to let you know the latest with me --

I went to see my head of department yesterday and he told me that I needn't bother to apply for that fellowship due to their very rigorous selection process, he said I wouldn't stand a chance. He told me this in a very kind and tactful way.

I was glad I went to ask. I can't make the application without letters of recommendation etc.

As of funding for me now, it will run out end of this year. I will cross the bridge when I get to it. thanks again

hi everyone,
I was looking at a funding scheme for researchers earlier today and it all looked as if I could apply for it -- UNTIL I read this part:
"Please provide a complete publication
record - in reverse chronological order. Please
indicate the two most significant publications (wit
hin
the last 5 years) with an asterisk*. Please give t
he
publisher or URL, including any password, where
these two publications may be obtained"

I don't have a fantastic list of publications, can I still apply?? Would it look silly? I have only ONE significant publication :-(

any advice?
thanks love satchi

hi again, I think you are ok then, you just need to get over your stigma. Others may be better at writing advice for you on this. If you say it took 3 years to figure it out, 3 years is NOT a long time. Do you know those yogis, they sit in meditation for years and years! So what is 3 years? :-)

Life is still ahead of you, everyday when you wake up, think of one GOOD quality that you have, and say it out LOUD to yourself.

I would like to say this to you with all my heart -- don't be so hard on yourself.

I promise you it will get better in time.

Wow what nice grades you have.
Please continue to dream, because everything starts with a dream :-)
I am sure you will find something.

Best wishes

hello, you need to step out of the "poor me, bad is me" syndrome.

You will need to move on with your life. Everybody has failed or almost failed ventures in life. The next thing to do is to work out how you will write your CV explaining employment gaps, and STOP THINKING that nobody will employ you.

If you continue to think like that, it won't be nice because your thoughts shape your future, lots of famous people have said this, please change the direction of your thoughts first, then continue your PhD, or whatever is left, and please, please move on.

hi, its Satchi. Here is how I made my choice of phd -- I chose to study the subject I liked, I chose the project, and then only I found out which university it was, and where it was that I was going, and fortunately my supervisor has been fantastic!

share your decision with us later?
love satchi

hi babygirl
Do you think you can continue work professionally with him (without emotional involvement)? If it were me, I would ask myself this question. At the end of the day, you are human as ever, and since he is attractive etc, you might start having feelings for him and they'll only go deeper and deeper.

if you can truly work outside emotional involvement and the PHD means so much to you, and you can't change supervisor, then ok continue.

If not, get out of this environment before you get stuck in the mud.

Wishing you all the best, lady-to-lady

hi KimWipes
you know I think you'll probably find something else sooner than you know. I remember your previous posts, you have accomplished a lot in your academic career, in the past you had posted some messages on the Forum about wanting to win the Nobel prize etc, what I mean by mentioning this is that you have great qualifications, experience, I think people will definitely want you on their team, if you do say goodbye to these industry people.
