[I signed up to present at a conference and didn't tell my advisor about it. How to handle this now?](/12413 "I signed up to present at a conference and didn't tell my advisor about it. How to handle this now?")



I have a little bit of the dilemma here... A month ago, I signed up for a conference talk and I got accepted to present there... However , I actually found out about that conference and decided on my own to give a talk... I did not tell my advisor about it. At that moment, I did not think much. And part of me forgot about it since I was so busy with everything else.

 Now, thinking back, it occurs to me that I might have done something stupid. From what I know , most PhD students go to and give talk at conferences because their advisors tell them to go... So I am not sure if I did the right or the wrong thing not asking my advisor before applying to go... 

 So I know that I now should tell my advisor about the conference. However, I am not sure how I should explain about that fact that I didn't ask before applying ... Is it common for graduate students to let the advisors know before applying for a conference ? Seems like it is a common thing at my institute. 

 Or should I just back out from the conference? I don't think it is smart if I back out since it will hurt the reputation. 

 Please give me some insights about this. Thanks a lot.
Explain it just like you explained in your post.

 Tell your advisor that you are very interested in attending a particular conference and that you even applied. You realized it was an oversight that you applied without talking to him first, and then you got sidetracked.

 Make it clear that you want to go, that you got accepted, that you made a mistake, and you'd appreciate his feedback on all of it. If your advisor tells you to withdraw, then I would probably listen.

 It is not common to do such a thing without discussing it with your advisor, often because they are a co-author and footing the bill.
What have you done on the citation? Has a conviction been reported to the DPS? If so, you may have obstacles in obtaining your driver's license. If you have not made an appearance in court yet, call a local lawyer to see what can be done to avoid a conviction. Good luck. Get your attorney's office manager and your doctor's office manager on a conference call. Get this straightened out. 


This shouldnot be a problem of the patient/client! Lien letters (LOP) should be arranged between office staff. Come on now.


Perhaps a replacement ..... sorry. i wish i could help but i find it weird that people “like” your post and not say anything. i posted yesterday and i was like ok… ummm do you want to look at my book? hah. all the best sir! 1) form controls use a list box for the names of the conference rooms;use datetimepicker for scheduling the reservation...set the format property to custom;set the customformat property to mm dd yyyy hh mm ssof course, will also need ok button2) dataset up the data file like this:room date time1st floor, 6/8/21, 14:00:002nd floor, 6/9/21, 10:00:003rd floor, 6/8/21, 13:30:00reads these records from the file to determine if there is a conflict.if the room is available at the requested time, writes the reservation tothe file (in append mode) and displays a message box saying the reservationis complete. otherwise display a message box saying the room is unavailableat that time. i know what ur saying! true, you should feel comfortable with your stylist, but some of us just arent that damn social! if this is you, there are a couple options to try out. first, think of some back up conversations to have just in case you find that awkward silence. if you dont wanna do that, bring your ipod (depending on what youre having done). if you cant wear earbuds, start texting random people on your phone or bring a book. or if that seems rude to you, mention right away that either you are tired and apologize in advance for being kinda zombie-ish, or that you feel like crap today but forced yourself outta bed to get to the salon. plus, ya never know... maybe the stylist will be relieved that they dont have to make small talk either! or if they still insist on talking, keep redirecting the attention back to your hair. ask lots of ?. it gives you something to talk about at least!! good luck! talk to her about it but not in a pressuring way. tell her you want to be with her but you understand and respect her decision. just give her the opportunity to change her mind, but if it's still a no, then just respect that and let it be. well, i raised an issue with id support whom escalated it with engineering or something and it's now working. they did say they'd text me updates and haven't received anything from them so whether they did anything or whether it just started working.. who knows. 

but yeah, looks like the answer is calling / talking to support. i would say they are a blessing cause it led me to the man i am with now. i started out on online dating really young. my parents were very strict no boyfriend until i am 18.. everyone at school had boyfriends and teased me cause i didn't so i went online and found a guy in indiana and dated him online from the time i was 16 to 18.. he came met me and my parents then i went to meet his parents and thats when i got the concussion that turned my life upside down.. when i was told i would never walk again (so thankful to god that turned out to be false) not even a week later he was gone and good riddance too! when i was 21 i moved to a new area and i grew up very sheltered so i had no idea what i was doing. i was going to be going to college soon after meeting 5 guys dylan, ryan, donald, justin and antonio.. dylan was the only one that understood it was just companionship i was wanting.. the rest wanted to sleep with me. had on my profile getting ready to go into my first year of college would like a loving, caring, thoughtful man by my side but hed have to know college will be my focus for these two years then we have the rest of our lives. but i realized that was too much to ask. went on many one meal dates after i was done college cameron, josh, matt, sean, scott, ben, will, andrew, curtis, trevor. nothing came of them all great guys just not great for me. tried to see dylan again but he wasn't interested he was more depressed couldnt shake him of it.. then i met david he was everything i wanted in his speech but he turned out to just be a fine talker and his actions didn't line up.. so it was hard to get rid of him dated a month took 2 to get in his head i wasn't interested.. then my parents and friends kept trying to set me up. so i thought if i dated someone farther away probably better so i dated jean-francois well i got a surprise im here message one saturday and he was great just when i went to his place i didn't feel at home he had no interest in moving here and i didn't want to move there he kept trying to pressure me to so i lied to him said i wanted my roommate since he kept on thinking we were involved but no taylor was like a big brother to me.. he wanted me to get a new place nothing ever made him happy technology wise if a new thing came out he had to have it making fun of my a5 phone yes its old but it still works :) so i felt almost not good enough for him.. then i dated another david online i never got the opportunity to meet i would really like to meet! he is absolutely amazing i think but after being misled before i didn't want to risk moving. then decided well fuck i must be the problem guys in person wanted to date me but if we dont agree on fundamentals there's no future! a guy online you can discuss these things better to ask what they are looking for then answer that question cause you could get played. so i took 6 months to myself avoided all family functions.. i prayed every day god would lead me to my husband.. i only dated guys i could see myself married to or if they convinced me they deserved a shot. i didn't ever want to date just to date. i wanted the next guy i dated to be my husband and we met on okcupid and was on the app less than a week when i met him felt like i always knew him and i just knew this is it and a year and 9 months still going strong. so as long as your prepared for things to not go as you expect your fine.. the guys i dated online were 100x better than the guy i dated that was a customer at my work. online your safer behind a screen and you meet in a public place after one meal you should have a good feeler on the person. its easier to say i think your a great person but i dont think wed be a great match because... i wish you the best of luck.. hope you find what your looking for.. they usually say thanks you too! friends or associates you already know in person are more stubborn and take things more personally when you dont think they are your type. i'm not a teacher but i agree with what one of the male posters said. it's not whether he'll be flattered or take it the wrong way, it's whether someone else might take it the wrong way and think y'all have an inappropriate relationship. even if no one else overhears, he's still in an awkward position, because telling you a simple thank you might be giving you encouragement to flirt more (not saying you are actually like this), and not saying thank you might make you mad enough to try to get him into trouble (again, not saying you are actually like this). i would just leave it alone. Not normally. You can call the facility and speak to a counselor or case manager and ask nicely if they will relay a message. The rules are usually against this, but if you ask nicely, they might pass along your urgent message.
