How to treat PhD like a job and not a personal quest

I get frustrated when it comes to getting my writing 'corrected' I have more than one supervisor and each one of them wants me to write things in their particular style. So I give work to one and she'll give me corrections, then I give it to someone else and he will correct it (including correcting the corrections). Plus it's funny when I recycle bits of work and then the supervisors criticise their own previous corrections.

Something supervisors seem to forget is that everyone has their own style and have different vocabulary use when it comes to explaining things. I have seen some publications in journals with awful grammar and word usage; some of them have been written by scientists who are regarded as leaders in the field.

Quincy would def win in a fight cos I reckon he'd fight dirty. He's a bit of a womaniser so has probably had some scrapes with jealous husbands.. plus he's always in the pub so has had some drunken bar fights in his time.. Sloan would probably have clumsy punches and then rely on Steve to scrape him up off the floor.

Has anyone heard of these colleges before?

Funny thing is.. When I first decided to do a Phd I had a clear view of what I wanted to do.. Now I am not sure at all!
