  I don't think my boss submitted my paper yet. He came to lab yesterday to talk to someone in my office. As he walked by me, he avoided eye contact and had a guilty look on his face. I assume that means he didn't submit my paper. He was supposed to upload the paper to the journal's website a week ago, and the journal tells you within a week or two if they will review your paper. I'm trying to have a positive attitude, but it's really hard. How incompetent can my boss possibly be? It takes all of 5 minutes to submit the paper. Everything is ready to go: the cover letter, manuscript, figures. Please, logon to the website and upload the fucking paper! Please.
