He told me that I've got to take control and make my advisor do the stuff he's supposed to do

Did he say that he would provide you with an iron-clad alibi for when you take his advice and use a tazer on your advisor? Because really, I don't see any other way of controlling that jerk.

I'm not sure how much Hil can do because his general mode of operation is to not answer or not respond to an email and not show up. And there are no consequences.

Oh, please let me know when I should pop the popcorn. This should be beautiful.

Anybody else go to a 9 to 5 kinda place with this? Cuz I'm thinking, yeah, maybe tie him up in a basement, and only give him food and water when he does something worth rewarding.

When he doesn't? Take his bucket away.

javachik - congratulations on the approval for your company's product. It sounds like it will relieve a lot of pain for a lot of people.

Thanks, Windsparrow, I hope so.

javachik, I remember seeing something a month or so ago (actually, maybe 2 or 3) about the Qutenza patch. (In one of our journals, we have a section about new products, which is put together from press releases and such. And one of them was about Qutenza, and its efficacy.)

Neato, Teppy!!

Yay, javachik! I'm glad all that hard work paid off.

That can't possibly equal a fail at adulthood. There wasn't even an emergency room involved.

I'd say getting to the emergency room is also an automatic non-fail.

Thanks, everyone. I just wanted to be the normal adult who is able to drive her BF to the dentist and back without drama. Not my life though.

I'm gonna take a stand and say that homemade guacamole is delicious. There, I said it.
