Tax... do the online thing, it's really very quick. I got it done and returned to me in less than 2 weeks.

As for "Her", don't fall for it. Really! Your thesis is good, and you have far more clues than her.

I don't want to do it online, quite apart from the fact that my circumstances mean that I can't. dulthar's uncle is an accountant, so I get way better rebates that way anyway - he knows all the ins and outs and what he can claim for me, plus he does it for free! And I don't have to worry about the hassle. dulthar's tax is a bigger problem - we're still waiting on stuff from employers. Slackers.

What Wuff said - you know what you're doing. This isn't her field, remember. And if you need further encouragement to nod, smile and ignore her - remember what happened when I listened to her advice about my Hons thesis.

I am ignoring her. As I said, it's just a hassle I don't need. I was far more concerned about her continuous rants about everyone else being wrong. Just sitting there and listening to her, I felt so sorry for her because she is clearly unhappy with everything (except her kids). But I can also see that some of the unhappiness is of her own making - through her own arrogance and attitude.

She's currently trying to steer me towards an in depth Hebrew linguistic analysis on the nature of bans. NOT where I'm going with the thesis. And she's doing that really annoying thing too where she tries to write your thesis for you - the old, 'oh, just leave those concerns with me and I'll let you know what to do.' Uh, no. I was trying to discuss some issues with her and she just brushed me off with a 'leave it with me' - the implication being that she will then hand down her wisdom and all answers from on high. I don't want her to do that. I want to work it out for myself, I want to do the work and I really would appreciate a supervisor who could ( ... )

I. I am talking about you. *grins*

I see your 36 degrees celcius and raise you 36 degrees fahrenheit. Except that it's actually 17 degrees fahrenheit right now. *cries*

You made my ears itch! ;-)

It got to 37, but there was so much smoke haze in the air from the enormous bushfires buring 200 kilometres away that it didn't feel quite so hot. Of course, everything smells like smoke.

But I saw the new Bond! I quite liked it - I think Daniel Craig is very cute, so it was easy on the eyes, but I also liked that he was more of a beginner - he gets beaten up, he can't do tons of fancy tricks, because he's not as experienced as they do him in all other Bond movies. But still he saves the day (if not the girl)!
