Shaving a yak

Ever heard of shaving a yak? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaving_a_yak. Seems to be the story of my life (and CERTAINLY describes doing my dissertation).

  1. No, but I had yak milk, cheese, and yogurt in Mongolia. Super good!

  2. What a great analogy! So many things in life are like that.

  3. It is really neat to now have a funny phrase to describe a situation that is so frustrating. I think it makes my frustrations seem a little less serious, and its nice to take some things less seriously.
