I have plenty of time, in fact I'm slightly bored. The presentation itself is about 30 mins max, i'm playing with pics in the slideshow, because, damnit, I have many great pics from my research. I was even told that most of our people don't do powerpoint, just talk, and that it might be an overkill... Little do I care. I have a strong need for my committee to at least see the pics since they gave me no feedback whatsoever.

Only one thing bugs me -- and that's the asshole behind me in our computer lab, who just sits here for hours doing nothing, eats stinky tuna sandwich, and rustles with the paper, feet up on the table. i could just smack him upside his head. Apparently he's camped out here every day. go get a life, moron, grrrrrrrrr. i forgot how much people feed in public here, yuck.

@dagmaraka,
Fart?

No, probably wouldn't phase him much.

Sing? Atonally? Nasally is best.

Watch out for the third question. The third question is always the zinger.

Good luck, not that you'll need it.

@sozobe,
i know. i have a strong desire to kick my third reader in her nuts - she's lucky she don't have them. They had the text in first draft since June.... I sent the most recent draft two weeks ago... and told them language editing will be last. She emails me last night (sending me into mild panic...) asking if it was edited for grammar (no, i responded....as i did before) and then she replied that she wishes she had known it was not edited before....grrrrrrrrrrr. MUST....BE.....POLITE.

mind you, i did not receive a single comment from my committee on any of the text so far. None.

@DrewDad,
Hey, yeah!

And it has to be two-way, so we can all cheer at the good answers. Super loudly. While waving foam fingers and high-fiving each other.
