You work on your dissertation all day every day? When I was working on my thesis, I worked on it for an hour every 3 or 4 days.

 

Do you have a master's degree in suck?

mine was about the same length. This damn thing was up over 200 (just the body) at one point, and is now back down to 140 as my advisor has a red pen fetish, with a bunch of appendices and more that still need to be included.

I've enjoyed the whole PhD thing though. I've been teaching for the last two years and that's been a lot of fun! I've managed not to get utterly absorbed into being a lab monkey. It helps that my advisor is semi-retired (Emeritus) so i'm his last and only grad student so out relationship is pretty low key.
