In my opinion, the best album from this band since 1994 (Monster). Not as good as their best albums, but certainly a very nice surprise. I've been listening to it in my car, driving into the countryside today, saw how amazing the scenery of rural England is, sun was shining, and the PhD was so far away, at least for a few moments.

Unbelievable. If the evidence is clear, both the time and the action log of the computer hard drive and the recorded time of the video tape can confirm deletion of word documents, then the case should be crystal clear, even if she denies.

If that woman continues to work there, than the world is just out of order. She deleted someone else's work, that's about the most evil thing to do because writing a literature review may take months. I really do hope they show some backbone and get rid of her. Sorry about the interruption.

That's all?

What is the right strategy? Not to ask silly questions?

I hope the IT guys had a look at the hard drive of Sabrina's computer which could be evidence as well.

I've been checking all day and even left a meeting earlier to check again! It's unbearable

I hope this Katy gets what she deserves - and that would be eviction from the PhD programme

As others have said, heavy teaching workload + PHD + marking + making everyone happy + living together + non-academic partner

sounds like a deadly combination to me. It can still work but it's not easy. I thought I can rescue it by seeing her only once a week and not living together but here we are

Most tend to split up in the second year or the final writing up phase. I think it's very common, unfortunately.

BHC, you are amazing. I bow down in respect. In true James Bond fashion, you secured the evidence and are going to destroy the evil in this world!

It's not enjoyable.

Unless you are masochistic.

Sorry, is the job for 4 years or the PhD enrollment? If the former, my mistake and I would definitely do it. I thought it's some sort of 7 years PhD.

You probably don't like to hear this, but I definitely would not recommend part time study for a PhD. Main reason are bad experiences of friends who eventually all quit and limited support, supervisor departures to other institutions, lack of private life and similar, rather negative issues.

Olivia - you can watch the summaries on youtube later tonight

Thanks. A lot of them seem to be quite stuck up and arrogant? I think the sales woman is gonna fly out first

Me! The new series starts today. I've given myself a free night today and will watch it without feeling guilty
