Ironically, even though I set myself up to be on the downhill road to my defense, I'm perhaps more stressed out now than I was the night before I printed my thesis. The stress of unknown travel plans, the financial implications of cancelled travel, and the prospect of planning a trip in a few days when John and I are just not spontaneous travelers has mounted to some crazy levels today.. It has culminated with my desire to make some ridiculous responses to some odd comments in a review for a journal article. I can't even post here what I would really like to say in response to some of the comments in the off chance someone ever found this blog.. but one in particular I feel I can post and if that person figures out it's related to them, well GOOD.. Maybe they'll change their attitude.
Reviewer comment: "...blah blah blah (if he was analyzing his own dataset)"
Indeed? I didn't know all people generating datasets in this field of science were men. Thanks for generalizing...I will go tell my women friends exploring that aspect of science with that tool to leave the field.
I am being very cynical from the heaps of stress piled on me right now, but it would be nice if people incorporated in their speech and writing the idea that scientists and engineers could be either men or women.
The good news is many of the reviewers' comments were useful and very thorough.
