The nocturnal workers' thread
User: cleverclogs - 04 December 2009 00:06
Anybody ever procrastinate in Yahoo Chat? Professors' chat:1 is wicked.
Also on the night train, viva in one week.

Go Chrisrolinski!
That's an awesome night's work!
I think I may cave though, I've been working on this since 5.40am and I'm done for.
Good luck chris and wal :-)

i think that working on a Sunday is tantamount to nocturnal working! ;)

Checking in for a bit of nocturnal work now (it's 1.50am - sheesh!). Want to have another go at persuading Word to do what it's supposed to do, making my life easier. If that fails there's a fair bit of manual editing required.

And that's me checking out. All captions renumbered (it worked this time - yahoo!), margins set to my university's specifications (despite Word's attempts to foil that maneuvre), title/contents/acknowledgements/declarations/abstract/appendix pages set up, and bibliography added into the main text. Ooh it looks nearly finished! How exciting.

Thanks Sue! I put in more time early yesterday morning, and got to the point of having a PDF of a nearly finished thesis to email to my supervisor to study over the next few weeks. Still have to finish the bibliography, write the abstract, and tidy a few things here and there. But it's looking nearly finished. Which is rather exciting. Had a small bottle of champagne last night to celebrate :)
