Today's bad news
God this part of life is so hard. I hate being 31 and having no control over my life.
So I talked with the dean about jobs and he basically told me to write-off this year and focus on fall of 2007. As if I have the funds or the emotional strength to be unemployed or marginally employed for that long. Not to mention the whole biological clock that is screaming in my ear with no viable partner prospects in sight.
Then I talked to JH, my committee chair, and he told me that he would sign after he had read my dissertation and he would try to read it by the end of October. A MONTH FROM NOW. He also had the temerity to ask if I had responded to his comments. Am I the non-responsive member of this pair?
I feel like I have worked incredibly hard and played by all the rules, but I am still stuck, isolated, unemployed, unsupported.
