You know you've spent too much time working on your dissertation when...

...spending some quality time with IRS Form 1040 makes a nice refreshing break!

How about ..... when you keep dreaming that you are finishing it (abandoned 10 years ago) and you wake up thinking that the part you wrote in your dreams really DID get completed. Sigh.

Natch, you and the (hopefully) soon-to-be-doctored Mrs Natch have my sympathy.
I'm moving (slowly) towards the final stages of mine, and hope to defend it early next year. I now totally loathe the topic and wonder why on earth I ever chose it.

Is it about DRM? Cause we don't discuss that topic enough here.

Thanks, Patricia, she's really looking forward to being introduced as "Doctor and Mister," while I'm planning to print myself up a nice "Marital B.S." diploma to hang up on my office wall (I've gotten to where I can B.S. pretty well on Victorian literature, even things I've never read, just from listening to her!).

It's been almost ten full years in the making, and we're down to the final days. It's been a wild ride, and I was mostly just a passenger! I did get to hand deliver the copies to her committee last week, other than that, I've just been focusing on doing as much as I can around here so that she can focus on the work.

Xenophon, Mrs. NatCh, and Patricia, good luck to all of you and know that the pain does end and it can all be worth the effort. "Good for the soul" as my prof used to say. He should just be glad somebody didn't didn't slug him! Seriously, it's quite an achievement, as you well know, and you really should be proud of that.

It's curious that I haven't dreamed about prelims and dissertations in many years and yet to this day I still occasionally dream of going to take the final exam for a class that I never quite seemed to ever show up to the lectures for. Maybe it's because that one struck a little too close to home. I'd be willing to bet, though, that you've each had a similar dream many times yourselves.

No bet, I have that dream about three times a year ... that I remember, I often don't remember my dreams.

Bad news is that anyone that can understand the 1040 form can be certified legally insane in 49 states, in Mass you are consider just mentally bewildered.

Good luck all in your quests for PhDs.
