ginga and tom are right!! this is nothing but harrassment and bullying and should not be tolerated and individuals like this cannot get away with it.

good luck! we're all behind you

Anthropologa, thanks. yah was quite stressful juggling all those things.

that is great that you worked hard on research all day. i admire the fact that you want to write ontop of a heavy day ! good for you.

bakuvia, thanks for the message and advice

yap i realised the mistake is in the colour coding she made from my data. its an easy mistake to make. she put a colour down wrong. the other table with the values IS correct, i doubled checked.

the table is "supplementary". the findings don't change the writings in the main journal article.
so i think once i get my draft finished in about a weeks time, and have double checked it. i will send her a seperate email sending her my supplementary table, that i changed.

but i added a few more colour coding stuff which she might not like. but the data makes more sense to me now. but then its her decision. and she can contact the journal, since she is the senior author.

lol

anyone is more than welcome to join my diary!

update from yesterday

spent the whole day and evening until like 2am, workingo on a table for my results section.

hey Anthro, how's it going?

ignore my random ramblings above! just talking to myself.

no the mistake is real.i'm going to have to correct it, and then tell my 2nd supervisor of the mistake. so she can contact the journal or something.

its because i corrected the data, and must have not corrected one of the versions and so must have been a mixup. she must have used an "older" incorrect version.

anyways for my thesis, i am going by the "correct" version. and will just tell her later, she will be annoyed, but i dont care.

okay i think i need a break, because i've obviously have lost the plot.

i just checked another table. and its fine. it is 25%. you know the cartoon character when it gets hit in the head and all it can see is stars. i think thats whats happening to me, all these ones and zeros. can make you go kookoo.

phew what a relief!

then again, could have been my mistake.

i think once i complete my first draft, i will tell my 2nd supervisor and maybe she can contact the journal. whilst its being considered.

anyways i am not gonna worry about the paper. i've wasted enough time working on those papers instead of my thesis. i'm just going to focus on my thesis. i only have 3 months left for my thesis. and wait for the paper to come back for corrections. when it does, tell my 2nd supervisor of the discrepancy. im sure it will be sent back for corrections. but i aint gonna contact them right now. they are already hostile towards me. i aint stoking the fire.

just realised a mistake in a table my 2nd supervisor made in the second paper they submitted.. she made this table, based on the data i sent her.

i gave her the data, and it specifically says 19%, and shes written 25%.
ive corrected it for my thesis.

this is exactly the reason why i hate the "rush rush" lets get the paper published. i like to take my time and meticulously check the data over and over again.

in all fairness she did send the paper to all authors, but i was focused on correcting the written work, i didnt even think of looking at the results, thinking it would be fine, because i had meticulously checked it loads of time, before sending it to her.

so i am hoping the paper gets sent back to us, for "corrections" or it gets rejected, as evil as that sounds, i just dont want my examiners to see the discrepancy between the thesis and the paper. i dont care for the second paper to be published or not. i just want my thesis to be perfect and accurate.

Anthro, wow its the 6th day.
good luck with your aims for today.

CeCe, nice to hear from you! good that you're taking the weekend off. and good luck with your meeting on monday about your chapter and the conference!

anyone else working today?

Anthropologa, well done on getting the work done even though it was late and you must have been tired.
i admire your stamina!

it is so cool that you're in such an exotic location doing exciting field work. impressive

my aims:

1. finish last section of results: chapter 4.
2. discussion: chapter 4.

then will take a break.

I will report back when i am done with those two aims, and then will load up new aims for the evening.

*clocks out*

spent about 9 hours, working on section 2 of my results section of chapter 4.

total words today = 1847 words
figures = 4

calling it a night now. and starting again tommorow morning, instead of overworking myself tonight.

finally finished my Aim number 1. (1 out of 3 accomplished)

took me about 9 hours.

feeling hungry and tired now. I'm calling it a night, and start again bright and early.

night night folks.

*comes in for night confession*

still working away on Aim number 1, nearly finished with section 2 though. taken me nearly 7 hours!!

i am not letting myself leave my desk or have dinner, until i finish the results section! once i get it done, then i am going to relax for a couple of hours.

feeling hungry, but no, i must finish the results section tonight!!

hope you all are doing well.

Anthropolaga, how you holding up?
