Hello you lot - seen any postings here lately? Messages on m3ss3nger from me? No, didn't think so.

For three months now, I've been writing the best program I've ever done, all for my PhD supervisor. I'd polished the user interface and sorted out as many bugs as I could, because this was a program that other people would use, not me. I'll make do with console output and memory leaks, but that would confuse most people.

However, come my last day (monday) what do I find? That not only was the program needed, but 200 output files from it. So I stayed through monday till tuesday afternoon when I was taken home by my housemate. I did another 11 hours yesterday. There are now 30 files. I've done about 1 weeks work in a couple of days, and I have about 1/6 of it done. And I'm not getting paid for this, I'm doing this out of loyalty to the people I've worked with.

Just before lunch today, I was told that a large number of images needed processing as well. After my initial shock and protestations that it was getting ridiculous, I finally lost it. I stormed out of the Univerity of Liverpool and will not return. I will not gain my PhD.

The problem I have now is that I have no idea where I stand. I have just walked out on a job today but my contract ended monday. I did what I thought I was supposed to do.

How could I have spent so long doing the wrong thing.

It's all bollocks...

# calm down,
go back, talk to them.
tell them what's bothering you.
you'd be surprised, they may be more understanding than you think.
it would be great if you all could work everything out and get it done and if not, at least you gave them every opportunity.
working too hard can make everyone edgy and perhaps even irrational. (not just you, them too)

# I do a Ph.D
I'm free to browse b3ta all day, there's lots of 18 yr old students around, I've got 16 P4 processors and 500gb to play with, and I get to live in a castle.

Ok, don't get paid much, but I enjoy it.

Just take your skills somewhere else that pays. Like Imperial or someone who doesn't take the piss too directly.

You can do your PhD elsewhere you know.

Bear in mind I finished my paid studentship bit last september and I finished being paid by the university on monday. I have no contract with the university, I am not an employee there. I am meant to be finding a proper job right now cos I'm living off my own savings now.

# Proper Advice.
Lose them now.

Take what you have and apply to another place that might even value what you do, and won't treat you like that! They are seriously taking the piss.

I know I come across as rather intense, but I honestly believe that the knowledge and information you have is valuable. Liverpool is relying on the fact that you are doing this as a favour, and cannot mind much if you bail out now. Especially when you ain't getting a cheque!!!!

NB I still don't understand why they would withold your PhD tho?

# I suggest
Agreeing with zog

I think you call them, arrange a meeting, (tomorrow??) explain the situation, how you didn't understand that you needed to do all of that stuff, and let them know how much extra stuff you've done, apologise (even if it's painful) and say "I just worked shed loads and you lumped loads on me, that's how come I needed to get some urgent time off, and I approached it in the wrong way."

If they get titty, mention something vague about Citizen's advice bureax, Working time directive, and a very good contract lawyer.

# Threadwaste, I know I know, but...
I HAVE to tell you guys about this.
I buy a new 12" powerbook for 3000 Euro. a week later the superdrive is broken. I send it in to get fixed. they just called and told me there were two CDs in it, so it's my fault, so could I please now pay 734 Euros to get it repaired, or if I'd like to just have it back, 200 Euros for having it looked at.
are the trying to fucking JACK ME OFF all the way from FUCKING HOLLAND?!?
gee, great new powerbook! every time you forget there was a CD in the drive you can send it in and pay 734 Euros!

# Not as silly as it sounds.
I've had the disc come off the spindle on my notebook before now (must have taken a bit of a knock while carrying it.) When I opened the drive, it looked empty because the disc stayed inside. I very nearly put a second disc in there and shut the drive, but I noticed the edge of the first disc sticking out very slightly.

# Apple are cunts when things go wrong
My ex-boss' Powerbook died within a week of him getting it, but while he was in the States.
Even though he took it to a proper Apple shop over there, Apple UK refused to deal with it as a DOA when he got back and returned the computer cos it was past 14 days.
