Ooops, I just voted in your poll and then realised that I'm too old. :$:-(

Just for the record though, I can't say facebook has ever made me feel negative about my body. :)

Tidying up files on the computer? Mine tend to get into an awful mess after a while. Or searching through recent editions of relevant journals? :)

Done. :)

Done. :) Took less than 10 minutes. :)

First of all, as others have said, the fact that you can't get a job at the moment is not a reflection on you, but on the awful job market, especially in academia. It really is pretty dire.

Have you considered tutoring for the Open University? Depending on what area you work in and if you have teaching experience, this might be worth a try? I know it's not full-time, but maybe better than nothing. (Unless it would mean you lose other benefits etc etc)

Hi, I can get this. PM me your email and I'll send it to you. :)

I'm not sure if this would work, but could your supervisor write you a reference before they leave? I know in Germany for example it's usual for employers etc to write a reference when you leave a job and you keep the reference and use it everytime you apply for a job (at least it was when I was there, admittedly that's a long time ago!) - though might not be the case in academia?

I hope you manage to work something out. :)

Goal 2 complete, goal 3: check ethics application form again.


Aaarrrggghhhhh....

Hi, the ones I have found are:

dart-europe.eu - Europe
adt.caul.edu.au - Australia
collectionscanada.gc.ca/thesescanada - Canada
proquest.com/en-US/products/dissertations/individuals.shtml - US (and others?)

:)

Questionnaires checked. Goal 2: finish support info leaflet.

(sprout)

Good morning. :)

Planning to get lot of work done today ... First goal: check questionnaires.

Good luck with the journal paper, Batfink! I'm sure they'll understand, as you've been ill. I hope you get some sleep soon...

I can email it to you if you pm me your email. :)

First goal done, information leafelt emailed to supervisors. I've got to go out now, but my goal for later on (depending on how much time I get ...) is to finish the ethics form.

I hope you're feeling better soon, Batfink!

My first goal for today: finalise first draft of information leaflet (for ethics approval).

:-)
