- Princess Pointful
- I'm a 27 year old lady working on my PhD. I am a self-proclaimed geek. I love neologisms (bonus points if you can find the one on this blog! In fact, bonus points if you know what a neologism is!), find vitamin deficiencies and dogs with cones on their heads exceedingly comical, lack nearly all physical coordination, rely on self-deprecating humour to defuse tense situation, and have a tendency towards overanalyzing everyday situations to a ridiculous extent. I'm a tremendous stress case. I love making up stories about the people I see on the street and look inside people's windows when walking by (but just for the purposes of making my stories more informed, I swear!).

A bit harsh
Someone called your research nonsense and lived to tell the tale?
Ohhh boyyy!
Did you punch them? I would have punched them.
I
d seriously kick anyone who says that to me.
It happens to almost all PhD people at some time or another. For guys it tends to be more along the lines of "why don't you stop all that nonsense and get a real job?" At least it was 30+ years ago when I got my PhD. Just ignore the naysayers (or kill them if so inclined) and do what *you* know is best.
So let me get this straight ...
Your career and education = nonsense??
WOW!
oh grrr, hope you arent too mad :)
Seriously? As someone who intends to works towards their phD in English, this pissed me off and it wasn't even directed towards me.
I'm sorry.
I find it more comical than anything that people still say such archaic things!
At least he didn't say "You're not getting any younger" or referred to anything about my cat lady destiny!
What? Thats just crazy.
(and I would have punched them)
because having an education (and an opportunity not afforded to most women in the world) is pure nonesense....
don't you know? being married will complete you as a woman!
Wow. I wouldn't even know how to respond to that.
Last night a girl told me that if I joined a particular social group I'd meet someone from it and get married. To me it sounded like more of a threat, though I think she wants me to settle down.
oy. i've actually heard something close to this too, haha. it's that marriage bug!
Um has this person ever been married? Cuz it's really not always all that and a bag of chips, not enough that I'd want to force it on someone who doesn't want it yet...
I've heard that too.... and i'm 22.
