New PhD students: if you enjoy literary flagellation for being a moron (and a sinner!), buy this OU book by Marian Petre & Gordon Rugg. They may not know how to use the word suicidal, but they'll make sure to remind you how stupid you are! 4/5 brain cells (as that's all you got)

@drjtwit I think so. I must have been trying to analyse blind. What a fool of a took.

Tidying my desk always throws up some old favourites from the "organise my life on a post-it" department

The #MyOctocat version of me! @katkoler and I nearly missed a meeting because we were too engrossed in making these😂😂 https://t.co/iYzadrFmnx When can we get these on stickers??? @github @monatheoctocat

@neuroshef Amazing!! Well done Heledd 👏 you must feel so good right now 🥳 @hb_wright x

You hear about Tennis Elbow and Swimmer's Ear, but I was unaware of two other conditions - "Writer's Back" (the feeling that someone is using your spine to smelt iron) and "Typographer's Finger" ("has my left ring finger been secretly lifting weights?") #PhDThesis #PhDPain

I watched Silence of the Lambs for the first time, and did not expect a profound commentary on the way female professionals are treated. Of all the men in that film, the face chewing (and wearing) murderer/psychopath is the only person who treats Clarice with respect. Huh.

Hey my dudes! Please stop asking women for statistics and proof that gender bias exists. It sounds reasonable to politely ask for evidence... I used to think the same! Let me explain why it's a little more complicated than 'just asking questions'.

Happy #InternationalCatDay !! Here is my kitteh with her face down my boot. She ❤️ stinky shooz 👢

[Claire Green @AnalytiClaire]

@drjtwit @vgkits You did it! Congrats. Thought I'm guessing this doesn't help the "I just got into bed but I'm not sure if I locked the back door" scenario?

[Claire Green @AnalytiClaire]

@e_etherington @kimgoodwin "yes by a fair amount" 😂😂 alright mate. It's been fun playing, but I've got a PhD to get. Hope this all clicks with you you some day. Bye 👋

MILLENIALS OVERSPENDING ON HOMES*

*because baby boomers fucked the economy so it costs £400,000 for an undersized cardboard box with a 2 hour commute to London because that's where all the FUCKING jobs are and they pay you shit anyway and you hate it.

Fuck off LinkedIn

@drjtwit @MendeleySupport @paperpile @zotero I just read on their release notes that they use the @Zotero Word plugin software to build their own plugin. If THEY think that @Zotero makes better software...

[Claire Green @AnalytiClaire]

Right then @MendeleySupport, you know referencing is painful enough, why can you not sort out crashing on startup for Mac OS High Sierra? No way am I relying on you for my PhD Thesis, I've only go so many tears to shed. I'm off to @paperpile or @zotero 👋

[Claire Green @AnalytiClaire]

To be fair dodgy third party app worked. However, I have asked my feedback to be passed on: it is extremely bad practice for a company as big as Mendeley to ask customers to download third party apps to fix THEIR buggy software. Uninstall should uninstall...#stillnotconvinced

[Claire Green @AnalytiClaire]

No offence to the person from @MendeleySupport trying to help me, I know it's not their fault, but going into private messages (to avoid bad publicity) and then asking me to download a third party cleanup app to fix THEIR software problem is laughable...
