Hil, your "advisor" (and, God, if anyone deserves the quotes of heavy-handed irony it's him), should be put in a sack, beaten with large sticks, and dropped in a river. I'd worry that this might interfere with his performance, but he'd probably be more accessible in a hospital bed.
I like money better than people. People can so rarely be exchanged for goods and/or services!

[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.

Preferably one with a large population of piranhas.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
My last revision came back from him with several words and sentences circled by him and "bad" written next to them.
This will be an excellent enclosure for the report you write about him when you're all graduated so you can make sure he never happens to anyone else again. What an assbut.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Hil, please, please, please follow through on your plan with his other advisee to submit a formal report once you're safely out of there. Shabby, shitty, unprofessional, anti-helpful, crazymaking, should not be tolerated.
I swear I'm just about in a foul enough mood already that I'd find it positively therapeutic to fly down there and cockpunch him just for fun.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
He told me to find somebody else to correct the writing in my dissertation, because he doesn't have time and it's not his job, anyway.
I'm actually not going to have time to work on it until Wednesday or Thursday, but, any Buffistas willing to read it Friday or over the weekend? I'm also going to ask a friend of mine who graduated last semester, and maybe one of the other professors in my department. (I'm debating the wisdom of asking the other professor with "My advisor says he doesn't have time and it's not his job." It would be satisfying, but probably not such a good idea.)
Edit: I'm just looking for people to read the introduction, not the entire thing.

My throat hurts and I'm coughing and feel sick. I better not be coming down with something.

You can't leave me to my own devices; my devices are Nap and Eat. -Zenkitty
I hate everything. I hate the world and everything in it. I hate myself. I hate my life. I swear all my meds are doing at this point is rendering me incapable of sobbing uncontrollably over it.
But I'm too negative all the time, so it's all my own damned fault anyway.
