[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Doomed to keep looking.

Hil, can you start forwarding him links to articles that you think he should read so that he gets that you're reading them?
I'm not really sure how to phrase stuff like that. Also, I'm pretty sure that he doesn't read my emails, at least not unless they're about something that he's also working on at the moment.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Hil, I think with this guy, you just have to play the game his way. When he makes a complaint, isntead of thinking about how you are already doing whjat he is asking for (since he is clearly not seeing it), say something like "How would you like me to share my article reading with you? I can send you links to relevant work."

Yet again, Scrappy is wise.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Dear God, I created the Buffista Translation Party monster.
Steph, that was a lovely story.
sj, health~ma.
And Hil, here's my 2 cents. Mind that it could be that I read the situation differently due to my own human problems:
Clearly your advisor wants you to be more dependant on him, and is ignoring that you prefer face most things in your way, which isn't his way.
So fake girly enthusiasm when he's around and come to him to a bunch of "OMG? Have you seen this?" whenever thinking "Hemm. Might be cool, in an alternative universe", and "You GOTTA see this NOW" whenever thinking "this might make a good point. Someday. Let's file it in the Would Make a Good Point Someday file".
Or, listen to Scrappy, since she is wise and I'm sort-of in the same situation with job interviews. My CV are impressive for my age, but since I'm sticking with the Dead Honesty policy even when it screws me a little bit, and since I know my thoughts can be scary to others, I usually show little enthusiasm in job interviews, even when I'm excited about the job. I have no idea what to say that would sound sane or normal, and end up hesitant.
I really need to work about it. Advices would be very appreciated.
And good luck to you with your advisor.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
I think it's very fitting that Shir, whose primary language is not English, got us so hooked on translation party.
