I am a slacker. The past few months have been so busy that SG world and socializing has been neglected, unfortunately. I am off to London then Africa next week (for a month) to set up my fieldwork which will commence in September if my funding works out.

I had a professor, who is a control freak, go nuts on me this week after I removed her as my dissertation committee head. I did it professionally, explaining that my change in focus means that it is best that my current co-supervisor take over full time. She lost it. She criticized me in front of the other prof and even referred to me in the third person while she did it. Shit like, Chris, I want you to know that this gentlemans performance as my TA has been disappointing, etc. I sat there and took it all in for several moments, saying nothing (although I wanted to destroy her fragile emotional out of control self). Then she quit my committee and walked out the door. I could have gone off but I didnt. She lost control, I maintained it, she now looks like a fucking idiot.

I still have to TA for this bitch. Talk about uncomfortable. I suppose its best that I do not ask her for any letters of recommendation now.

{Later} As I read this, I realize I use some harsh language (I never really use the term bitch), but my fury called for it at the time I suppose.
