The only person on my friends feed who posted finally deleted his live journal. I guess there really is no one left.
I graduate with my PhD in philosophy in August. Unfortunately, my committee has been a nightmare--an advisor who hasn't given any guidance and three members who haven't bothered giving me comments, even though I've sent multiple drafts of the thing for years.
I have a creeping feeling that there will be a sudden curveball either right before the defense or during the defense itself that will make my life much harder/require miserable kinds of editing. Academia is really filled with nasty people.
Otherwise, I'll be working in Boston this upcoming semester, teaching two courses on ethics. And then I'll try on the job market again. But, I can't keep postponing my own personal goals of starting a family and settling down indefinitely. My skill set is limited for the job market, too. Who wants to hire someone who sits and dialectizes all day?
I have an edited volume coming out with Columbia very soon. I've spent the better part of the last two months working on that. It's hard polishing the turds of others.
