I did point out to Auckland that I got mine in on time and had track and trace signature for it. My supervisor refused to sign her part of the ethics statement (I didn't plagarise, I didn't need ethics approval, whether or not she thought it was ready for submission). She just refused to sign it. They tried to say that it didn't count as submitted because I needed to deliver it in person. That it didn't count as submitted because I addressed it to the Dean rather than the Research School (I addressed it to the Dean of the Research School). It didn't count as submitted because she didn't think it was ready to go to externals.
So they sat on it for a few weeks.
And so on...
I guess I was supposed to go in and see them in person and suck up and make them want to help me. That's how things get done and otherwise not.
Seriously?
I pointed out I can't stand over them with a whacky stick and whack them into doing their jobs.
The examiner report is long... Trying to overwhelm me with their opinion and FYI sorts of comments and 'no I don't agree' here there and everywhere.
Arguing for arguings sake round and round. Trying to convince me that they can't actually tell who has worked hard on their thesis anymore? They can't tell how many hours work I've put into it by looking? They don't value people doing work?
Bullying... I see that.
I don't understand why.
I guess I need to look into whether they get money for my thesis or not. If they don't then there is no incentive for them to get this done. They've missed the deadline already.
If Auckland doesnt' accept my evidence of submission for Med then there's no point my giving them the thesis.
I don't want to live, honestly. There isn't anything else for me. If I can't complete in the minimum time that's it.
I said that to them.
I guess they are rubbing their hands in glee at my imminent suicide?
?
What am I supposed to say?
My friends are trying to persuade me that it must be rubbish?
?
They aren't really my friends... I see that... They like me weak... Maybe that's the thing, here. About cutting ties.
I don't know what to say / what I'm supposed to do.
Wait. I guess.
I don't know that Auckland will respond since they've managed to cull my application (again).
Is this really fun for some people?
What an awful life.
