and my supervisor is notorious for being hands off and leaving people to fend for themselves. and sometimes they finish... if they have lots of internal motivation / focus. if they are able to muster up other supports (i see now that he is keen to fill up people's panels with more junior staff who theoretically have more time to spend / more patience with people just learning). and i kind of fell through...
only, i won't.
i'll get it done. i see... i could have finished last year if i'd have pushed a bit harder to. but that wasn't my aim. my aim was for a big f*ck*ng draft so i'd get further extension. and i surely did that.
and then... once i had the opportunity... i threw most of it away and began again. sort of. so the stuff... is kinda like the post-doc that wasn't. with respect to development, i mean. and... that is just the way things are right now. with the job market being the way that it is.
and in one way mine doesn't have to be as good (because i'm not asking him to write me further references / to further endorse me. which is just as well... because... he won't. but... i do need him to okay me to submit.
fortunately he is giving a talk on something related. with a junior colleague. and so... this is my ticket, really. pick up on aspects of that. dialogue with. hopefully get to send my stuff to the junior colleague.. good for everyone. socialized... i am not. hur. finish by march next year. i f*ck*ng well will.
