Thanks for the support. So are you offering to listen to my presentation? Maybe I should videotape it and put it on youtube - lol!
Actually, it'll be fine. My thesis includes a historical component that makes a great story, so I'm just going to tell the story for 10 minutes and then draw conclusions from it - ask questions (i.e. I haven't done the research!) and then hope no one else asks questions!
Sorry for the anger over the job sitch. I have to say, though, that if there isn't room for further negotiation, you probably don't want to be there anyway. Institutions that are more concerned with the rules than with honoring the proven performance of employees are too hard-nosed to be enjoyable for more than the short-term. I say that, of course, not knowing the specifics. One thing I've discovered throughout my life is that when you throw yourself into the void, the universe provides.
So I read your post to Lost. 12 months is a long time to waiver. Do you feel that this limbo period has done further damage or has it given you time to breathe and sort through your thoughts?
Hope it's dry where you are. We're sweltering - I hope the fog comes back soon.
