hi pnpatil welcome to the Forum
I think it's possible for you to do a postdoc if you're keen on it! have you looked at www.findapostdoc.com/ ? Maybe you can find something there.
I'm not sure about getting lecturer/assistant professor jobs in developed countries; what I know is that it can get difficult securing a job :-) but please don't let this discourage you.
Best of luck

Hi everyone, I am going out today to get my nails done and the bf wants me to leave the key under the plant pot at the front door for when he comes home (he didn't bring his key!). This is freaking me out because what if someone finds it?
I know this is really silly of me, but would you leave your key under the plant pot???
Would any of you do this?
thanks

hi sunnychicka16
I sympathize with you where money is concerned. However if it were me, I would not submit my thesis without my supervisor's approval because there are more risks in doing so. If you are asked to resubmit, it would take even longer for you to finish this phd- -- and then you have your supervisor's "I told you so".
Is there a way you can find a job or do something about money so that you can still continue to work on your thesis? Can you ask your family for help? I finished my phd in 5 years, 2 without funding. To be honest, the waiting time took about 1 year (wait for supervisor's reply etc. etc.) so the writing time plus research and everything for the phd was about 4 years instead of 3.
It may take longer but if you have a really solid thesis at the end, it is worth it.
best of luck in whichever decision you make

wow! Congratulations on started your 2nd PhD!!!! I think you will enjoy the process, and yes I think your writing may have improved! Absolutely!!!!
You have already been through a phd so you are experienced in this respect.
The only thing that may get in the way is Life. So you'd have to get round doing things in your life, fitting everything in with your phd, I think that is harder than doing a phd.
Congratulations again and thank you for sharing!!!!

hi Incognito
I'm sorry to hear that you miss your mates back in the UK and may perhaps also be feeling homesick. You miss your youngest brother, you sent him email and he hasn't responded. Try not to take this personally. I can really n truly understand how you feel because my sister is the same (if not worse) with me. She never calls me, never emails me, NEVER replies anything I send her unless she needs something from me. I am always the one initiating contact. I have felt unloved by her since I was a child and this is unlikely to change in future.
Sometimes we go through times where our relationship with our parents breaks down. Strange as it sounds, you will always be connected to your parents, and vice versa. Perhaps you (and your parents) still need time apart, and hopefully things will sort themselves out in time to come. Allow yourself some space to be free from worrying about this or even thinking about this.
I am sorry that your orthodontic work has not exactly turned out as expected. Whenever you feel down about this, try to look at it as a passing phase. I am sure that the end-result will be a good one, and now it is only the process that seems to be getting you down.
I am so glad that your work does not give you stress. Just to share with you how I cope.
--with my sister, I have never stopped loving her. Every time I feel the pain of rejection from her, I take a deep breath and (as ridiculous as it sounds), and BREATHE OUT all the pain that I feel. And somehow that makes me feel better. When I breathe in, I think of all the pain and how much I wish she would call me or talk to me, and when I breathe out, I tell myself I am breathing out all this pain. It really makes me feel better. Trying to continuously contact her will only make things worse and I will feel even more broken hearted.
--with my teeth I had braces and even today my teeth are not that straight. To be honest, I don't like the way they are but I can't afford any more work on it and I have come to accept it that the curve of my teeth are slightly slanted to the right. (we need a mirror to see it actually)
--missing friends, I send him short messages on fb or email and then just see who replies. If nobody, never mind.
--homesickness--eating something from home makes me feel better, I do not binge or overeat. I try to cook a little bit just for the taste. This seems to make me feel happy.
Hang in there incognito you'll be ok

hi bevcha hope you are feeling better. I am glad you were not harmed.
I have experienced a burglary at home before, and lost my computer. They even took away the mouse! It isn't a nice feeling. For 2 years after the incident, I would check the front and back doors, windows everytime I reached home, I would hide my things (example--I would put my computer in the laundry basket UNDER clothes!), I would go back to check the front door MANY times to see if I had locked it before actually leaving.
And then after that it took me another 2 years to get over the fear of leaving the house.
Now I only check the door ONCE or twice and I don't religiously scan the house for intruders as I did before, although I am still as careful as I can be. Now, I also don't hide my things every time I go out.
Please give yourself some time to recover.

hi sadhanameena,
look at www.findapostdoc.com/ there might be something there for you.

hi catalinbond
it is too expensive to fly back for the day.
I will just have to see how it goes.
I've already gone through a number of rejections (and a few interviews), so I am sure that I won't be heart-broken if I don't get the job (assuming I've had an invite for interview) OR if I am not selected for interview :-)
thanks again for your response
