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...

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)
