The Five Stages of Letting Go of My Dissertation

[librisia]

Denial - Oh, yes, if I'm really serious, I can do interviews, cajole the asshole priest into not finding me threatening and write my dissertation in a timely fashion while holding down the full-time job I need to have to pay my more than $100,000 in student loans.  Yes I can!

Anger - There's no fucking way I can finish this fucker.  Fucker!  Fucking

Also, if you look through old disserations, the wives were often the ones typing the disserations too so that people could actually read them (they insert thank yous to themselves).

Clearly, I need a manservant to do these menial tasks for me. :-P

Or uh, maybe I should just get off LJ and work. :-P

Wyrd, sister.

In all fairness, I have a loving, supportive sugar daddy, but he doesn't run the day-to-day shit because he's actually out working so that we can just barely not pay our bills. So, I'm taking the day off of work to do all the dumb shit that has to be done, do the dishes before the babysitter gets here so I can go do my homework, blah, blah, blah.

If he's your manservant, I'm sure you can make him do nanny duty too. :-D
