'Dirty Girls'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
I met with my advisor.
I managed not to cry until I left his office.
Choice quote from today, "When you look at what you've written here, can you tell the difference between good writing and bad writing? Or do you think this is good writing?"
Also, he still has not read more than 2 pages of the sixteen-page paper I gave him over a month ago. But he also says that I can't put the paper up on arxiv until he OKs it.
No shit? That makes 2 Buffistas who have won (some of) Ben Stein's money!
He beat me in the final round but yeah, I won a little.

What an utter, utter fuckwad.
Seriously. How is that in any way helpful? This guy is in the wrong profession.

I wonder, Hill, when he thinks of what he's said there, can he tell the difference between good advising and bad advising? Or does he think this is good advising?
'Cause I've got some notes.
Hil, do you have to keep him as your advisor? Is it possible to switch?
It's not possible to switch now. He's the only person in the department working in the field that I'm working in, and it's way too late to switch topics.

Is this because you told him (as you said here) that you know all the writing isn't good and that's not what you are working on right now? Or did this come out of nowhere? The guy sounds like he totally doesn't get you or your process at all--which makes him pretty much useless as an advisor. Do you have anyone else with Math chops you can send your work to for a beta read?

This was on something that I thought was pretty close to a final revision.
Have you talked to the department chair about this SOB, Hil? (I hope he isn't the department chair.)
I never wanted to be a princess. I wanted to be a paleontologist. My favorite fairy tale was Tom-Tit-Tot, which was a version of Rumplestiltskin, because the girl wins using her wits. I also admired her ability to eat five pies.
