You’ve got to give up what you take.

I met a friend for lunch to take about the utter fail in my life.

“Do you know if the Provost will give you a time extension yet?” he said
“No. But I’m preparing for the worse.”

“You never know. Maybe the Grad Program Director and Grad School are passing the buck because they don’t want the Provost reaming their ass for giving you the extension. Policies can get people demoted, you know. Especially if they’re trying to get full professor.”
