Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

Oh, and what I thought a few days ago might be a wisdom tooth coming in? Definitely a wisdom tooth coming in. Hard to tell for sure yet, but it seems to be crooked. I really hope it doesn't have to be removed.

Hil, just don't get my DH's mutant teeth. 5 roots on the last root canal.

Futless day here. I've done a bit, but nothign that seems to equal the energy I have.

I was perfectly happy with the mutant teeth I already had -- only two wisdom teeth, and both of them grew in fine and didn't need to be removed.

So, I keep emailing my advisor, trying to schedule a meeting for the next day or the day after, and he hasn't responded to any of them. Not even a "I can't meet with you then" response. This has been three emails over a bit more than a week. I'm trying to write an email asking what's going on, but every time I try for polite, I end up at passive-aggressive. Any suggestions on wording?

Dear advisor,

I have a number of deadlines to meet and questions to ask. Please advise as to your availability. I can be flexible. ( Pun intended )

Actually, do you have a phone number? I might cal and leave a message -- some thing like you are concerned, you have left him a number of emails and you haven't heard from him and you are worried.

Hil, can't you give him a call? I would.

The only phone number I have for him is his office number, and he's almost never there. I've tried several times this week stopping by his office, and he wasn't there any of those times.

At this point, I might clarify that I'm worried more about said deadlines than his lack of response.

But it could be just meanie me.

Humm. Can anyone in the office give you a call when he's in, so you'll know when to call him?

Or just leave a dead horse's head on his desk, with a "I feel we grow apart. Something must be done about it. Call me." I'm sure it'll get his attention.

Yes, I think it's time for me to go to bed.

Leave a message on his phone. and it is possible he is sick and left a message on a phone, but didn't fix his email.
