Work is really hard. Research is really hard for me... I am not very good at it... but when there are interesting outputs I can keep my head above water. I am having difficulty with the stuff I have been doing cuz the results are, in my opinion, nothing to write about... but that doesnt pay the bills in research so I gotta write about it. Its frustrating and discouraging. Its hard to put in hard work on it when every aspect turns up to be mostly uninteresting, unrelated, or unimpressive. I have my share of curmudgeon time, vegetating, while i should be working... sometimes the grumbling curmudgeon strikes a chord, when it comes to work related complaints, and questions about what to do in the future... I dont want any future work to suck as bad as it sucks right now and if it is what I have to look forward to, then I want to take it another direction. I know there are people, such as my boss, that are equally excited to write about something like this as they are about something where the work you do feels successful, cuz even discovering that something does NOT work is worth writing about... hopefully it gets easier by the time i graduate.

Ogre,
I guess I'll have to get a 'blog. I'll work on it at the end of the week.
I'm sorry that you're work isn't going well. Is it that you aren't finding significant results? --ie the journals won't publish them? Or that your results aren't sensible, even when you've done all the right things? If it's the latter, then you can write about that, right?
What about that paper that you had accepted last year? What's happening with that?
I'll post about how my work is going on my blaug, when I get it going.
Good luck. And kisses to the critters and chritre!
