No, did not happen.

I talked to Chris yesterday and told him all the things that have been on my mind recently:

1) The student that plagiarized my thesis - YES, my OWN thesis - that got me steaming mad
2) The student that plagiarized in general - cut and pasted the whole thing

3) The colleague that thought I graduated from undergrad
4) ....and you know, all the other things

I can't believe that students still plagiarize.  Time and time again, we tell them...

- there's this thing called turnitin.com.
- we can spot plagiarism right away
- we (professors) all know each other
- we know when you recycle your papers from other courses

No matter WHAT we tell them, they still do it.  I. Can. Not. Understand. = ="

In any case, I was crying and sobbing on the phone and told Chris I wanted to quit, I hated my job, I get no respect, I'm not good at my job, I can't publish, I have no research idea.

He turned around and told me how he hated his job, how he wished he could have worked elsewhere and how.....blah blah blah.

Long story short, I must think long term - think about the money; think about the potential; think about the future.  If I ever get through this, it's really because of him and others who have supported him.  I can't do this alone.
