Hello! I'm fine, thanks. Have a job for 3 months. After no success in getting a 'real' job, couldn't refuse this offer for some quick cash. The job is related to my PhD, but could be done by someone with no qualifications - it's dirty, physical and dangerous work. I have done it before and swore I would never do it again. But every cloud has a silver lining - am working with a great team of guys and we have an endless supply of jellybeans, cream biscuits, coffee and after-work beer provided!
I work 12 hours/day, 6 days/week and have an hour drive each way - leaves no time for luxuries such as the forum and sleeping. My thesis is waiting to be finished, but I have no time to work on it now. My supervisor has started texting me to ask how much longer I will be! I recommend anyone struggling with motivation gets a poo job and you will quickly have renewed determination for your PhD.
In a weird, anonymous-forum kind of way, I miss you guys. Why has it become so quiet on here lately?
