I did, last night, thinking about my teaching and what I had coming up in the next few days. I prepped like a madwoman over the weekend so I really didn't have to do anything for teaching last night.
Yeah, my thesis was due today. (ha!)
Fortunately, my adviser finally sent me her comments, and I crunched through it all this evening in a few hours. The thing that took the longest was re-crunching after Word ate half the document. It looked just like the Delete key was stuck, and there was no way to un-stick it. I waited until it consumed the rest of the document, to see if I could "undo" to get it back, but no luck. I couldn't get a response of any kind, so I had to kill it with the Task Manager and start over with the recovered version. It was very distressing at the time, but things worked out OK.
It's 77 pages long! Without a doubt the longest thing I've ever written. The actual text only runs to page 40, and then it's a lot of appendices, but since I wrote the appendices, too, I figure it's OK to claim all 77 pages for myself.

Congratulations on getting a thesis done despite all the ways life intervenes. I supervise higher degree research and have huge respect for you and the people I supervise who persist with their projects through all sorts of challenges. Jean
