  The first rule of a PhD is, you do not talk about your PhD.
  The second rule of a PhD is, you DO NOT talk about your PhD.
  The third rule of a PhD is, if someone yells “Stop!” goes limp, taps out, ignore them.
  The fourth rule of a PhD is, only one person to a PhD.
  The fifth rule of a PhD is, one PhD at a time.
  The sixth rule of a PhD is, no life, no interests.
  The seventh rule of a PhD is, work will go on as long as it has to.
  And the eighth and final rule: if this is your first time at a PhD, you have to publish.

  “PhD was the beginning, now it’s moved out of the basement, it’s called Project Postdoc.”

  Nik: that’s just too cruel…. Project post doc, only one will be there in the end…..the new assistant professor…

  And the rest will be space monkeys, shot into space, sacrificed for the greater good.

  I’m done quoting “Fight Club” now.

  I completed my PhD years ago. I am still waiting for the Gates of Nirvana(TM) to open.
