One weeks worth of grief... This is serious!
 

Hi there,

now you definitely don't know this yet, but on wednesday morning I'm going to Austria for a conference and will return on saturday night. Before I go, I need to put the finishing touches to my first-year PhD report, print it, check it, wrap it etc. so I should be maximising effort and minimising procrastination time.

So, in an effort to avoid distractions, I'm asking that...

If anybody sees me post a message on this board before next sunday, please, please give me NO END OF GRIEF. Chastise me, insult me, berate me, offend me, question my parentage, my gender, my sexuality, my right to live, write offensive limerics about me, whatever you feel like doing.

The main thing is, please remind me that I really shouldn't be arsing about - until next sunday at least.

Cheers,

Tom

(and remember, I can't reply to you for a week)

P.S. If you want to ban me for a week, then that'd be pretty functional, moderators.(!)

*plans burglary*

Muahahahahah! Just what drill Sergeant Mackey was preparing me for.

Yo, yo, yo. Got back alive. All that I learnt is that Austrian wine is the most piss-poor wine in the world and that using glass-walls within a living space is a recipe for disaster.

wait wait wait

Ph. D?

HOW OLD ARE YOU!?!?!

24, although you wouldn't guess if you saw me. Most of my posts are from the computer in my PhD office, in between e-journal searches, experiments, calculations and charming the pants off the ladies in the department. Helps to break up the day, otherwise I'd just be working constantly on the computer the whole time and would go insane.

Wow, I though you were like 17 or 18. I'm horrible at guessing ages online...

...I'm 21. :D

I'm 52

...I thought you were in your 40's :0

I was kidding about being 21...but I'm not that bleeding old either. :bringit:

40's is not old ha

I'm 27 (at least, that's what Ethan thinks).

you're not that far off either....old man...;)
