um...*something* check-in

[forthwritten]

How's everyone doing? I am still seeing life from the other side of the desk so the PhD's a bit on the backburner. It's interesting to see how department administration works - what administrators can and can't do, contacts within the university, that sort of thing - plus catching up on department gossip, intrigues, power struggles and drama. If I were a more manipulative and cynical person I'd say that befriending administrative staff is a good move, but I'm not that manipulative!

So what's going on with your PhD/life/etc?

Thanks! It's getting there, slowly but surely; it's only the "slowly" part I'm worried about.

*sends more good vibes*

Hopefully it'll be more "surely" than "slowly". :)
