Update: Lady Who Measures the Margins and Page Numbers and Stuff

Ok, so as of now, I've sent it twice to the electronic upload webpage thing. The first time I couldn't get it as one document with two kinds of page numbers. So I uploaded two separate documents. The Lady Who Measures the Margins and Page Numbers and Stuff emailed: "Call the Help Desk, (###) ###-####."

Then, on the airplane, I figured out how to get it as one document. So I uploaded it again at 1 am. The online sytem said it received it.

I called The Lady at 4:25 pm eastern (deadline is 4:30 pm eastern) and she said she'll be at work till midnight tonight measuring margins, but she'll email me if I need to adjust anything and resubmit.

So now I am waiting for her to email back. Thanks for all your well wishes, people.

Man, if my job was to measure margins and page numbers and everything, I don't think I'd really do it. I'd wait for it be discovered, then, when it never was discovered, I'd day of old age well into my retirement.

Sad to say, but I am on the same page as KS with this one.

But it is so awesome that soon the diss will be online! I can't wait to read what you wrote about me in the acknowledgments, as I have already started drafting the 39 pages of flowery prose in praise of YSA.

Congrats! We will have to have our DWMC awards ceremony as soon as you and Sandstorm compare pages. I think I win both shortest and first filed....You win first defended and "most dramatic defense moment" for um basically the whole defense, no? (I can also win most hugs by "the Hair" at defense.)

and, of course...
GESCHAFFT!!! congrats! PRIMA!!!

Dissertation Writing Madness Club awards ceremony coming up! I also agree with KS, that is a good idea. Sandstorm wins most stressful defense circumstances and longest period without furniture! You are awesome for wrapping up both shortest and first filed. I may be in the running for shortest chapter--13 pages.
