Stop acting like a 2 year old

This is my realization of the morning: my dissertation (and probably everyone else's as well) is stuck in the terrible twos and unfortunately it doesn't look like there's any chance of it growing out of it.  You know how two year olds go through this phase where they hate everyone, everything, and say "no" regardless of the question they were asked?  My dissertation does that too.  Since I don't have any kids and have never had to deal with a toddler, I'm kind of at a loss on how I should whip this bad boy into shape.  So here's my plan: make it bow down to me by conquering its inanimate willpower.  My plan of attack is a little foggy.... but by the end of today it will be reduced to a state of submission.  I'm not going to lie, I'm pretty excited about that.  Stay tuned for how that all works out.
