I mean, my advisor consistently slacks on pretty much all his duties, and the department head hasn't been able to do anything about any of that.
Well, then your Dept. Head is a dillweed! It being professional suicide to say so, maybe you need to cultivate a friendship with the Dept. Head's secretary? Somebody who would advocate for you? Do you have any friends in the department?
Because your advisor is a serious impediment to moving forward with your career. And since you don't have the leverage to confront him directly, you need to triangulate a bit.
No doubt skipping lots of stuff in my quick skim of the days posts, but...
It is heartbreaking and incredibly wrong that it was never questioned who the other parent was when I gave birth to my children, and yet GC has to fight with time, energy, money, and emotion to get DW her parental rights. It sickens me.
My face is flush. For lack of a better phrase, I'm being head hunted for a gig back in CA.
There are a few professors that I can talk to, if he takes too long. I'm just frustrated -- I've got enough to deal with writing my dissertation and doing my part of the job applications without having to chase him down to do his job, too.
Does it pay more money? Do you want to go back?

I say focus on this. Your advisor seems completely unreliable.
Does it pay more money?
Dunno. The position is just being vacated, and the person wanting to hire me is not in charge of purse strings.
Do you want to go back?
Oh hell ya. Don't misunderstand, I really like it here in Dallas. A good arts community, I have a great crew this year, and I like my job. But I miss my peeps back in LA. And working in entertainment, I find myself feeling outside of it all down here.
It's not a slam dunk on either side. Those libra scales are pretty damn level. Pay rate will be the huge factor. I learned my CA lesson. That place is pricey!

t BOUNCE
I know what this is.....and I've been HOPING AND HOPING it might work out.....
I'm trying really hard not to get my hopes up too much.
(And you know damn well that everyone here has been maneuvering to get you back!)
Hee. It's such an incestuous little theatre community out here. I think I knew about the possibility before you did.
