The poor woman :-( I really feel for her; it must be terrible. The thing I don't understand is why her supervisor felt she was ready and let her go for her VIVA - it seems odd. The main problems should have been picked up and addressed in a mock viva. I'm probably been naive due to lack of experience, but this really shouldn't have happened. Assuming that she was a hard worker, she's perhaps been failed by her supervisory team.

Hmm, not today Eppi!

Yes course it is, if you want to be an athlete with lungs as black as a coal smith's apron. It might be a burgeoning superpower, it may have a super stadium - but have you seen all the pollution?

*******[REQUEST TO FORUM MODERATORS]******* It has come to my attention that I have consistently been the last person to post on this thread on numerous occasions, for periods of time longer than everybody else. I would therefore like to request that this thread now be closed and I, Walminskipeasucker, be declared the winner.

Kerpowwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! Walminski does it again! Winner!

Hiya Jennifr Sorry to hear that you only have until Sept to submit and I hope I'm not being silly if I say that at least after this last concerted effort, the bugger is all done and behind you. I agree with you about how inspirational Lara's posts are - I take heart from them too! Well, good luck with your work tonight and to all other's too. I think Jouri put thing's right when he says that this line of work sends you slightly mad and burns you out.

Anyone knocking off a late night sesh tonight? Ahem, work that is...

Anyone working tonight, or is it just me? Hope things are going well for any late workers.

No studentships are not taxed. With re to working extra hours aim for no more than 6 per week or a sum total of 150 hours per semester. That's generally what's recommended and healthy.

Hiya fellow night time work warriors! Just checking in to register my disapproval at what a muggy night it is for work. Hope you're all doing well with your work Now then, where's my pen?

Is anyone 'going nuclear' with their efforts and working late tonight? Hope I'm not the only one adrift in the twilight zone on a sea of work in a pathetic raft made of my pathetic, weedy and atrophied brain neurons...

Sounds grim. I'm doing an annual progress report, and trying to sort some methods. Such a lot to do...Hope it goes well for ya anyway.

Workey, workey work, work, work! Anybody else partaking in a little brain activity tonight???

Hi siwee22, I have pretty good access to electronic resources and, if you really need it, provide me with the title of the article and I'll upload it online for you to download. I understand your frustration.
