Argh! I can’t believe what’s happening! For the past few weeks, every time I’ve gone to see my supervisor, I’ve ended up with more work to do. So now, I have six weeks in which to make x-ray images of my galaxy cluster in different energy bands, try to analyse how the density changes as I move from the centre of my cluster, write two :eek: proposals for the VLA,which I have to get right, because if I don’t get the time, it’ll be two years before I get another shot at obtaining the data!
So, in short, I have no life anymore. I spend 90% of my waking hours in my office, sat in front of a computer. At least I enjoy astronomy, and the reason I haven’t collapsed in a nervous heap yet is because it is actually good fun. But six weeks, in which to do about three months worth of work is just plain silly.
So, yes, this was mundane, very pointless (unless anyone out there’s a scheduler for the VLA, in which case please can I have some time to observe some potentialy very nice clusters?), and I felt that if I didn’t share, I would go insane 
Oh, and I’m coming down with flu 
Angua (Who just wants to go to bed for a week and forget about astronomy for that time)
