If you did not put it into a backpack you can't use it. After a week of such living you will be a happy person again. Believe me, I was there I've done it. It does work. </p> http://www.econjobrumors.com/topic.php?id=6122&page=3#post-116520 Tue, 01 Dec 2009 14:27:21 +0000 Anonymous 116520@http://www.econjobrumors.com/ <p>Have you considered going on the market - it is a very different experience after the graduation and is quiet rewarding. You might end up in a school with more interesting people who will help you find interest in your work again. </p> http://www.econjobrumors.com/topic.php?id=6122&page=3#post-116486 Tue, 01 Dec 2009 11:34:41 +0000 Anonymous 116486@http://www.econjobrumors.com/ <p>be happy don't worry </p> http://www.econjobrumors.com/topic.php?id=6122&page=3#post-116439 Tue, 01 Dec 2009 05:35:29 +0000 Anonymous 116439@http://www.econjobrumors.com/ <p>Yes. Our tax money should not be transferred to those losers! Support Tea Party Movement!

OP is a loser. Losers do not deserve our sympathy. Sympathy only encourages people to become losers. Just like unemployment benefit only encourage people not to take a job they should take. </p> http://www.econjobrumors.com/topic.php?id=6122&page=3#post-116397 Tue, 01 Dec 2009 03:18:17 +0000 Anonymous 116397@http://www.econjobrumors.com/ <p>He should have a friend like him to feel how much demage he has made, or how right he is </p> http://www.econjobrumors.com/topic.php?id=6122&page=3#post-116212 Mon, 30 Nov 2009 18:02:04 +0000 Anonymous 116212@http://www.econjobrumors.com/ <blockquote><p>It is self-indulgent to call this a crisis.

No one has the right to judge another person's suffering if they have not done the due diligence to understand it from the other person's perspective. </p> <p>To the above poster, you should hope you don't have friends like you around when you go through what the OP is going through. </p> http://www.econjobrumors.com/topic.php?id=6122&page=3#post-116175 Mon, 30 Nov 2009 15:59:20 +0000 Anonymous 116175@http://www.econjobrumors.com/ <p>It is self-indulgent to call this a crisis.

I figured out on my own but it was too late and I had to start over.<br /> --</p> <p>Not the OP, but may I ask what do you mean by "start over"? Are you no longer in the academia? </p> <p>==================</p> <p>Yes I am still in academia and also quite successful in consulting gigs. But, during that difficult part of my life I had to go through the process of getting tenure again and wasted (or may be not) 6 years of my life. </p>
