I thought he was supposed to come back to Europe this week, but who knows. Also, since I'm just an ABD Ph.D. student in the very old-fashioned German university system, I don't think anyone...cares if I take a long time to finish, as opposed to how my former American university felt about such things.Chalkdust and Bootshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12149895782195943926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6121494988300540592.post-20974076421609773132011-03-12T01:41:10.650-05:002011-03-12T01:41:10.650-05:00Is it possible to contact the grad school office t...Is it possible to contact the grad school office to get the advisor off his/her butt?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6121494988300540592.post-63688270293108425602011-03-11T11:57:40.599-05:002011-03-11T11:57:40.599-05:00Awww, thanks, Ray.

I'm at least grateful that my family has been so supportive (and will continue to be so if need be), both emotionally and financially... So that I can buy Islamic jewelry and Sanskrit books!Chalkdust and Bootshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12149895782195943926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6121494988300540592.post-74579660030755684722011-03-11T10:07:44.923-05:002011-03-11T10:07:44.923-05:00i know it's cold comfort but you are not alone...i know it's cold comfort but you are not alone. I landed an on campus interview for a dream position last month, but got rejected (first by an impersonal post on an academic job wiki and then later by email) last week. I moped for days.

I have other baby prospects - at least three other schools have my CV and file - but they haven't contacted me yet, so I'm not so hopeful. Oh, well. <br /><br />Allison, it was so funny, though! I've been so good about not spending money (especially with few job prospects now!), but I just couldn't resist last night and went for the pear-shaped golden "Bismillah" necklace. But I do think nerdy language camp will be just the thing.Chalkdust and Bootshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12149895782195943926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6121494988300540592.post-84388720341591736242011-03-11T08:14:29.632-05:002011-03-11T08:14:29.632-05:00That's a bummer about the job.
