Sunday night, about 11 PM, I sent my advisor the rough draft of a conference paper due November 2nd. We've discussed in the past that my early papers will likely need lots of editing as technical writing is like swimming in choppy water. I woke up, immediately checking my email, to hear this from my advisor: “The draft you sent is very rough. Did you mean this to be an outline for discussion?” What a blow to the ego. To be honest, the whole morning was rough. Around 2 PM, I actually bothered to open the attachment. I had sent him a copy of the outline instead of the draft.
