I shouldn't be surprised anymore...

I should just expect that if there is something boneheaded or inconsiderate that my thesis advisors *could* do, then they *will* do it.

The latest?

Friday I was at a mini-conference to highlight the extragalactic research going on in our division. The last thing of the day was a "jamboree" of one-minute talks by grad students and postdocs, with the main purpose of just introducing ourselves to the division. All of the one-minute presenters lined up, making it very clear who was next.

When my turn came, I started walking up to the overhead projector with my slide, and I looked to the back of the room to see my advisor leaving, heading into the conference room vestibule to chat with someone. Really? Right when his grad student is coming up? This little chat couldn't wait one minute?

I have got to get out. This PhD is going to be the end of my sanity.
