Working 5-9

Avatar for sneaks

My RA job has taken me away from my studies. Its time to fight back!

I'm now working 5-9 on my PhD!

And I'll report back here about what I've managed to achieve.

I should be on my last few months now, so may use this instead of my goal thread. Anyone is welcome to join me in my little 5-9 club :-)

I'm frequently an evening worker so I'll join you! It must be irritating for you to have your RA job taking over though, especially at the end. Do you do it Monday-Friday?

Also I bought one of those Lumie clocks a few weeks ago - love it! Are you still using yours?

Hi Sneaks and Natassia, I also work evenings as I have little bambinos to look after during the day! Tonight, I am hoping to finish addressing sup1 comments on my final draft thesis and work through some minor revisions that I have noted. Meanwhile hubby is sorting out the printed final draft for me to proof-read. (still awaiting final comments from two other sups though).

Well sup1 comments done and minor corrections complete. Off to bed as it is almost 2300hr!!

I managed to do about 200 words, but it involved a lot of thinking abotu what I was going to say, so tonight should be easier to get more done (up)

My RA work is supposedly 20 hours per week, but it takes over

I'm late I'm late! its 5.04!

Ok, so my main task tonight is to submit one of my chapters as a publication to a journal. I have a few changes to make and I have to run some stats on it boooooo because I might have mucked them up :-(

Had a nightmarish day today. My internet has been down = no dropbox = no access to my work :-(

So I have to now try and make up for today this evening. I'm hoping the internet will stay connected - its a problem with my computer it seems, or maybe the router is rubbish with windows 7. Who knows.

just about to get some coffee and settle in for a long night of copying and pasting graphs 8-)

I'm working 5-9 today, or more like 7-11....time for another cup of tea I think. Reading and summarising a chapter at the moment.

whoa there - is the forum going crazy tonight?

I need to work for at least another 3 hours :-s

Oh Sneaks, I feel your pain as I had to copy and paste a hideous number of graphs into my thesis chapters! I was a long and tedious job. I am trying to get motivated for a bit of proof-reading..............................................................................

Good evening Dunni!

I don't think so, more that the mouse pad thing on my new laptop isn't as sensitive as my last one so I'm being a bit aggressive with it and pressing it about 4 times when I don't get an immediate response!
