Sounds like her - she's the queen of spin. Spins everything to suit her needs.

Unless she drags it out, she should be finishing up her PhD in December. She'll then typically go to a post-doctoral fellowship in another lab at another university. Of course, WH could fix it so that she does her post doc here in another lab in the same dept or in one of the universities nearby.

Lord, I hope not! Another six months I can take. Another 2 years? NO.
