PhD in Munich, Germany in Economics or Business Administration
O

Hi Dennis, I think you are asking the wrong people. This forum is based in the UK. However, I am not sure what you exspect to find in Munich as there are only two universities (as far as I am aware). The LMU and the TUM. The latter only offers "informatics of economics" (however you might want to translate this). There are hardly any taught PhD positions in Germany but I found some courses which might be of interest but nothing in Munich:

nothing makes a picture but I am happy to care for that part - I know it is only 8:29 but it needs to get the right PhD attitude

Why is it always happening?
O

continue my complain
We have to move, my landlord does not have the deposit anymore, my PhD does not work out, my partner got charged £80 by the bank because the council booked the whole council tax for a year of and then there was no money for the electricity bill and and and so we really have no money, I know we get it all back eventually but the next week is the only week we can have a holiday because of my experiment in 12 month so we said we do it on credit card and worry when everyone has paid us back and now this...
Sorry, but I really had to let it out. Nobody is in the department and perhaps I should just start screeming?

Why is it always happening?
O

I just cannot believ this anymore! I am seriously considering that somebody put a spell on me. Everything which can go wrong goes wrong e.g. I booked some tickets over the internet yesterday so we can go on holiday. After I entered my card details it said "transaction failed". Therefore I have done it again. This morning I get one booking confirmation for the holiday but TWO confirmations from safepay. So my credit card is now over the limit as they charged it twice, I have only one holiday booked but no money anymore to go as my credit card is not usable for the rest of the month AND I will have to pay for using it over the limit + how do I get my money back? This is just one insident of millions over the last weeks and it seems everything which can go wrong just goes wrong.

ack! why did I only find out about this today.....must ammend overnight. sob.

Hi Chris, hope you managed to get it all changed in time. I think it is always better to find and amend it yourself. It is horrible if soembody comes back to you and says: excuse me, are you being serious with this?
No, was just a joke. Wondering whether you would spot it ???
Good luck with the submission.

Proposals, postdocs & honesty
O

I would talk to your collegue you have written the first proposal with and tell him "hey, xy asked me to be part of their proposal. What do you think?" They may turn around and say: go for it as we are unlikely to get funding or they say "What a great honour" in which case you know they would not talk to you for ages if you go for the other proposal. Might open up the possibilities a bit and "congratulations!"

Thesis writeup - excel charts are driving me mad!
O

Ann, this is amazing!!! Just tried your version and it looks spot on! And there wa me working with 20 different programs to get a worse result.

My university e-mail account...
O

Mine does this as well! My supervisor constantly asked did you get this, did you get this and I thought he did not send it in the beginning and just yesterday I realised he was automatically sorted in the bin... how shall I tell him (that outlook reads my mind)

what's the matter Piglet, I thought you left the thread with coastman and left it for others to win - like me now!!!!

Does being Married affect funding?
O

I don't know but I have never heard of it (surely would would fall under discrimination?). I am married myseld and I have a full scholarship (and to be honest my husbands income is none of their business). And I know some other people who have funding and are married. But it might be dependend on the University.
Good luck

Unsuccessful search of Ukrainian
O

There are loads of Universities doing research on agriculture, perhaps you just do a goole search on that; however, one institute came to my mind as they are really important http://www.rothamsted.ac.uk/

As they are not a unievrity they might have different funding oppurtunities.
And yes, I found my PhD over the internet.

Good luck

Where is summer hiding?
O

It's there can I request another bank holiday weekend as the sun is finally back?

can I apply for an extension without any good reason?

... Perhaps you can go to your Gradschool as they might have tutors who give you advise on writing and time managment and as a foreigner you may qualify for help from your "english as a foreign language centre" I am sure you have enough to write as you passed your transfer reports. Be brave and speak to your supervisor - best today as it is over and done with, have a look in your handbook and perhaps ask for a tutor for help with writing. If everything fails go to your GP and talk to him whether he might be able to write you ill for a while so you can breath and reflect what to do.
Good luck and it will be ok
