To all grad students who have passed their oral exams, have finished (or close to finishing) their dissertation and are now looking for a job: Would you please stop complaining about how busy you are?
You work 20 hours a week. You can sleep for more than 8 hours a night. Your advisor wants you to graduate. Be happy!
Yes, looking for a job is daunting. But it does not take insane amounts of extra time. Your nerves, maybe. Time? Puhleeze.
Ugh, I am cranky. I just realized how much time I spend at work. It amounts to about 70-80 hours a week. This is insane and depressing. Especially given how little I've progressed in my dissertation. Which my advisor reminds me of often. But then, I will never be good enough for him.
I have to admit, reading other people complain makes me feel better somehow. So go on folks, never mind my self-pity party here, keep on complaining!
