Spring is here

It's official Spring has arrived, I spread my first load of slurry today. And daffadols are starting to appear. My research has been put on hold, I honestly don't know if I'll ever get back to it. If the staff at LIT ever wanted to make this anymore difficult or more stressfull I doubt if they could even if they tried.

Useless c**t of a lying supervisor
No lab facilities
70 mile roundtrip a day and no carparking facilities
Asked could I change supervisor one year in and was told it wasn't possible
Head of research told me in confidence that they know what it is like to have a bad supervisor
Old, leaking equipment
Prick Derek really tried to bully me into submission, at least he is gone
Not allowed to attend conference relevant to my work
No money and no idea that mature students have other commitments
Was trying to do enough labwork for a Phd in 18 months
Lab is on one side of town and office on the other side, making it impossible to do research or write up thesis while SLOW lab work is being done
No Help, only harassment and mostly useless advice from supervisor
Can't prove it but think my computer was interfered with

The only way I would consider going back is with a different supervisor.

6 months on

It is almost 6 months since I last posted, during that time no research has been done. I've been concentrating on farming instead. I am now 44 not 43. It was a very difficult winter for me, I started building new accomodation for cattle last September but it wasn't finished until May this year. Having nowhere to put cattle for the winter made everything twice as hard, I had to stop the research, I got really depressed, right now I can't face going back to college to finish my masters, I simply don't have the energy.
I started going to psychotherapy in April and I've had a session every week since.

happy christmas all.

I'm 43 and trying to do a masters in carbon sequestration by miscanthus giganteus. I'm finding it tough to keep all the balls in the air; I'm married with a son, 4, farming and doing the masters fulltime in ul and lit. I've just done my santa duty it's 1am in Ireland, and I'm off to bed.
