Doing fine!

I made my phone calls, but advisors were not in. Later that morning I checked my e-mail and found that Dr. Morin not only responded but put in an article for my opinion. So I feel good about that.

I also am allowed to take time for flying up to Montreal in November. Hurray! The downside is that I'll be back at work the day after Christmas, but I have always said I don't really like observing it so this will make me stay honest.

I got a Zeon business card holder from Miss Tia! Hurray for Tia!

This is great news :) When are you planning on coming up North?

[swestrup]

You are planning and visiting taxlady and I for part of that trip, I hope?

It'd be over Yanksgiving. I only have a few days; my company only offers 7 days of vacation time AFTER the first year; my boss just happens to think this is bullshit ("I know people have lives") and is willing to let me start taking days early.

Taxlady, I will certainly be seeing you and your sweetie.

Unfortunately, I won't be down to Toronto. Hell, I won't even be seeing my parents this year because if I take Yanksgiving, I have to be at work the day after Christmas cause Yanks don't have Boxing Day because they are all cogs in corporate machines.

See if this can make you feel better:

a friend of mine worked on his doctorial thesis for years, and then his advisor went out to the commercial side. Due to the nature of my friend (he work SLOWLY), he decided he wouldn't be able to finish the thesis before the advisor left, and ended up getting a MS after 6 years.

At least you're still on your way.
