fluffy has got you worried stu?

i don't use good grammer in forums it takes to long and it doesn't matter!!! I like to use the seconds I save doing some actual work!

good luck its alaways difficult dealing with supervisors. Let us know how you get on.

Say that it could lead to joint publications. Give it more time yet its eater after all

we need a crying smily as thats very often how i feel about my PhD

Just thought I would post an update. My supervisor came to visit me (I nearly passed out)! We had a meeting and I explained that I was worried i was falling behind. we set some targets and I asked how my supervisor how they thought I was doing. I'm feeling much better now and finally getting some work done!

long may it last (i hope)!

I know exactly how you feel!

stu if you don't think about your phd when you leave the lab then why are you on this forum late into the night talking to us unreal geeks?

Denile is not a river in egypt!

i don't think papers are boring either!

Oprah! a role model?

sue thanks very much for your advice. I'm sorry you have had such a bad time.

My second supervisor is great so maybe i will try speaking to him. I don't understand how supervisors can not be interested in their work, it seems mad to me.

I love my project and want to get on and do well but the lack of things to do and input from my sup is making me not want to come in. I came in this morning didn't know what to do so I went and cried in the loo. how pathetic is that!

I'm feeling a bit cheerier now as I had a good afternoon in the lab. I guess I just have to decide how to approach the issue without it leading to a drama.

You are right dan. Things have got progresively worse over the last few months. I know I'm going to have to do something. I think it might be best to approach them first and tell them how i feel.

glad your feeling better :)

yeah i have an advisor but I am reluctant to contact them. I don't want to make the situation any worse than it is. My second supervisor is lovely and shows genuine interest but my 1st supervisor is the one that knows all the gene expression stuff i need.

Sue, it sounds like you have had the same trouble. How did you cope? Did you tell them you weren't happy?

I want to learn latin.
