I have officially taken today off. I explicitly decided that last night so that there would be no guilt about not working on thesis today.
I hate editing. I get very, very sick of reading my own work, and tend to reach a point where I lose any semblance of objectivity on it ("It's shit, it's shit, I don't care!"). Am not envying you on the thesis thing though. Supervisor is suggesting we (meaning me!) goes for academic publication, but I have to admit to being not enamoured with the thought of trying to turn my 20k thesis into a 6k article...
I am however, confident that with your smarts, you will be most successful in bucketising said elephant. It may just have to get a bit bloody and brutal...
