stupid first world problems you're dealing with

It's not nitpicking, sorry.

Yes, yes it is nitpicking.

 

dissertation (ˌdɪsəˈteɪʃən)

ˌdisserˈtational adj ˌdisserˈtationist n

Usually required for a higher degree. A thesis (dissertation) usually has chapters, is based on original research, and usually is reviewed by committee.

Sorry, but as someone vaguely involved in academia, calling papers "dissertations" is a disservice to people who actually write dissertations.

 

Also, "long, focused, quality essay" is pretty subjective. ;)

*expects serious and patronizing reply on the unnecessary rudeness of this post*

You know, I'll hide my comments, fine. But quite frankly you going on to the internet to squabble about your definition of "dissertation" and how I can't use it because I only have a bachelors degree and you have your masters comes off as extremely elitist. And calling serious academic work "a disservice to people who actually write dissertations" just makes you look like a cunt.

flol, you're way too easy dude

:)

I had this problem until I did a candida cleanse. My feet don't stink anymore I took some homeopathic drops or something, quite a few years ago.

interesting. to be fair my feet stink because i worked in boots + wool socks all day like a dumbass, and i'm watmming instead of taking a shower, but i will look into this candida cleanse, for great health.

careful though... This is probably all coincidence but the stinky feet stopped, as well as ADD symptoms, but I developed my alcohol withdrawal seizures at the same time. I don't know if I was just making better choices or if the drops and inherent bodily changes gave me a seizure condition

Did I say your work wasn't serious?

I haven't written a dissertation, nor do I plan to, because I'm not going on to pursue a Ph. D.

 

I would say at a minimum you're looking at 30 single spaced pages in 12 point Times New Roman, for a thesis (dissertation) at the bachelor's level.

 

I will attach an example of a dissertation for a Ph.D. It was written by one of my instructors who was in the last year of his Ph.D, it's really interesting, if you happen to like Meiji era Japan history. Perhaps it will serve to show why I think using the word dissertation incorrectly is a disservice. Perhaps not, maybe I'll just come off as more of a cunt.

 

Sorry, I just think that words have meaning (while some meanings are fluid, I would argue this particular word is not fluid in its meaning), so it's important to use them correctly.

It would be like conflating fission with fusion. Similar, but not the same.

 

edit: also, my feet do not stink, but my armpits have been giving off a particularly foul odor lately. Maybe it's my body trying to excise all the poison from cigarettes.

Anti-foot-stink=soak your feet in a bath of vinegar.

 

Well, and wash them with soap regularly. I sometimes dream of how beautiful my feet would be, if I cared for them as much as my hands... One can only dream.

I bought a diary, and wrote it in there, and STILL forgot I have training today, fucking idiot ughhh why can't I ever remember anything

i haven't seen the latest GoT episode but i already know what happens due to the internet.

 

FFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

my leg is bitten to fuck from cutting grass the other night. harvest mites / chiggers i think...

 

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ITCHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol don't come to Vancouver in the winter then.

 

fwp: i have to take the car in to the shop today....

Told out of the blue today at work that there's an re-org announcement happening tomorrow, rumoured to be fairly sweeping in terms of the headcount for the chop. Strong possibility that I'm in the frame for redundancy (yet again).

So I got a "job" writing for an animation festival about stuff. Though the people in there are hipsters. They drink alcohol, they smoke and are vegans. I'm not into that. Fuck it. What should I do? I'll stay obviously, but I think it is pretty stupid to drink and smoke all the fucking time. Is like jerking off all the time, or playing videogames. Stupid addictions. Wtf should I do?

fuuuuuu $1500 to fix all that's wrong with the car.

 

 

that sucks... what's wrong with it? Can you fix any of it yourself maybe? Or a friend?

Just got home after a twelve hour shift overseeing my shop's stock take. It's 2am and I'm due back at work at 8am.

These particular stock counters were absolutely fucking awful as well.

On the plus side, my taxi driver didn't have a pen to write me a receipt so gave me blank one, so at least I can claim back a few extra quid from petty cash for my trouble.

Sprillian, this sounds completely abhorrent. I have done these stock count things in the past where the stock takers have been a bunch of bastards and I've had a late finish, only to get up early the next day to go back there after being up late counting their shit. I got measly wages for it as well (this was 2003 and i got time and a half). The company was a well known electrical retailer. I know them as Cuntys.

Doubtful - it's stuff like rear wheel cylinders, ball joints and something called the "canister vent solenoid", brake pads...

:(( sad chen.
