oh le nubian, that would piss me off. I get annoyed when my students decide to ignore needed changes, but with a dissertation? boggle

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm even earlier at work this morning because I couldn't sleep and it's not like the pain is going to go away if I wait. So while I could remotely drive (and that is only remotely) I did so.
Problem is, I think it's still unseemly for me to break down in tears.
I'm not sure the first nerve block worked right, and I'm pretty much at the end of my rope. And I'm definitely at the end of the flexeril, but that's probably because of how many I'd take at a time to see if there would be any effect. Actually, I guess that would average out. I'd take the whole days worth in the morning, nothing would happen, and I wouldn't take any more for at least a day.
Still, when they told me they didn't have my muffin I nearly cried. The professional frustration I'm going start coming up against in 15 minutes--I have no idea how to get through.

Oh crud, ita. I don't suppose coming in early means you get to leave early too?

Not to mention this student has complained about me several times to colleagues at other universities (and of course it has gotten back to me).
If not but for me, she wouldn't have final funding to complete her dissertation this summer. On my sole recommendation, she received the funding.
I'm really NOT going to choke her. I'm not.

re: Ascot
Some of those are decidedly not hats - I thought they made a rule this year?

They should put some of your muffins aside for you!

Dear student:
le nubian is really sorry that after all she's done for you, she's going to have vote against your dissertation and comment on the inadequacies of your presentation while imagining your head on a pike.

Don't tell anyone I said this, but it seems that the new developer on my projects is effectively inept. I spend my days calling out things she doesn't know in front of people so that she's forced to learn them, because if I just suggest it to her, she doesn't do anything.
In about a month, I'm going to look really bad, because our projects will fail. And although she's the one doing stuff, I'm sure it will be my fault, because she's been here longer than I have. And I'm sure I'm supposed to project manage her brain.
Also my head hurts, and I can't think.
And this blueberry muffin is disgusting.
