Today, passing a PhD student's office, I overheard his supervisor talking to him. I could only hear the supervisor's side of the conversation, but it went like this:
"I thought this was really good work! Well done!"
[...]
"It's not bad at all, really."
[...]
"Well, it's not a complete waste of time, anyway."
[...]
"I think some of it's salvageable."

It's comforting to know that I'm not the only PhD student with that type of conversation trajectory.
So sad. Maybe I should start a support group. Hmm.
Talk to me! (You know you want to!)
