GC, that is absolutely awful. How devastating.
Nora, I'm still just so sorry. I hope it all gets worked out, but know that it's just not going to hold the same punch. Bad college! No cookie!
Anyway, whine, whine, whine, whine! It's also super gray and misty out - excellent weather to feed Teh Ennui.
So true! I was just coming in to whine as well, and was going to comment that the weather wasn't helping.
I've had three really good days in a row, so I suppose it was time for a bad one. I think the CPAP has really been helping my asthma, but the combo of the allergies getting worse and last night's rain has killed me. My asthma is terrible, and the all-night coughing spree kicked up my fibro flare-up into full gear. So, not only can't I breathe, but I'm in horrible pain too. Grrr. But at least I found my glasses (spent an hour looking for them before I remembered I had some old glasses in the bathroom that might help with the process).
I'm actually thinking about calling into work, but I suspect there is play practice tonight (in our space), and it's raining, so we won't be able to go outside. That combo is just cruel to throw on a sub. So, I must pull it together! No sack-of-potatoes today, kiddos (my preschooler's favorite game...I throw them over my hip and sell them as a sack of potatoes).
Since Hil's advisor is a jerk, he probably thinks it's a way to toughen her up.
True, he's the guy that taught someone to swim by pushing them into the water. However, he does have a valid point, students need to be able to talk about their research in both a casual and professional setting.
Hil, we know that you can rock out a presentation, now you just have to figure out a way to translate this into a casual conversation. Now, I know I'm an extreme extrovert, but I recognize it's not as easy for other people. I'm available if you want to practice! I'll even read up so I can ask questions :) (and by reading up, I mean try to have a chance in hell of understanding higher math)
