Just to chime in...
I too am stuck in a dull job while searching for the academic one. I do data entry all day, and it makes my eyes bleed, but at least it is a job. For those of you out there still looking, recruiters/temp agencies are the best way to get jobs because they appreciate all your education/that you are not an idiot... because they get a lot of idiots.

I think it is pretty common to get depressed in your 2nd year. I certainly did, and ended up just stopping doing all work and wallowing for about a month. I read the whole Harry Potter series during this time, sadly enough! It may feel worrying to let yourself just take a break, as there is so much to do, but i think it is necessary and possible to catch up when you feel better. After just allowing myself to relax for a while I felt a lot better, and still finished the phd in good time in the end. Just don't be so hard on yourself.

Funny, my supervisor called my examiners the exact same thing

My viva was 3 hours long. Neither examiner appeared to understand the content of my thesis, but rather asked me questions about what they THOUGHT the thesis should be about rather than what it actually WAS about. At the end, I nearly fainted from the stress. The examiners went home that night not having decided whether to give me minor corrections or a 9-month referral. So I had the pleasure of waiting all night not knowing what the outcome was.

The viva was an unpleasant experience, but in the end I only got minor corrections. Although my examiners were probably aliens, the experience of doing corrections was very useful, as it got me to rethink some of my assumptions and will help me in future research.

In short, vivas suck but are necessary, and if you know your work and your supervisor thinks it is good you will pass. My advice: if you get on well with your supervisor make sure he/she comes to your viva. He/she is your best advocate.
