The final countdown (2)

Dear friends,

I'll miss you. I hope you're still there when I get back.

You never know, at the rate at which you are defending your PhDs.

Either way, if you're defending, giving a seminar or applying for a job:

I'm rooting for you!

PS: For those who are wondering what the heck I'm wearing, it's an apron. I was baking waffles at the time.
