on the diss

From comments on this post, on Academhack (Tech tools for academics) . 

"Above everything else, a dissertation is an exercise designed to do two things: 1) teach you what patterns of thought and activity are required to write a book; 2) provide you with a writing sample for the job market."

So true - especially #1. This is why having finished the thesis so recently is a good thing.  I'm reminded that I'm learning a process and that the dissertation product is evidence that I've mastered that, almost as much as it is a description of my research and findings.
