PST got a reaction from EdNeuroGrl in Writing space . . .
Thanks, guys! Your suggestions (I have considered a closet, for real) help. I do have an office at work, but I was trying not to spend more time there than I already do. My son really needs to know I am going to in the house after work, and my spouse is the stay-at-home parent, so I guess I just need to have another talk about "do not disturb." Emotionally complicated stuff, as usual, from parent-spouse-professor-doctoral candidate land. I wouldn't change anything about my life, but if one can manage it, youth is the time for such academic shenanigans . . .

PST got a reaction from Eigen in Okay, so then this happened . . .
Yup, at my university, the director arranges everything, and the this director plus the self-recused person forgot the specifics of the situation. To be fair, they are overloaded with committee work, and I am not angry. And there is no question in my post because I have no question about this issue; my goal is just to encourage grad students who might be of my vintage and academic-historical context to be more productively assertive than we may have been "brought up" to be. Just thought this would be a place where people could relate. If I am wrong, please let me know.
Thanks!
