Current @JETProgram teacher, eternal Coloradan. Twitter is my mini PD - I learn about HR, labor, skills development, higher ed, and mental health.

This guy just plopped himself onto the train, pulled out a full picnic breakfast from his messenger bag, then called halfway across the car to the security guard that the heated seats aren’t working

Just found a note in my to-do list from June 2021:

"Emailed back [name] about possible video chat times (she wants to use Zoom? Why? I’ve never heard of it)"

Those were the days.

I found taiyaki in Denver! It cost $7 (vs. $2 / ¥200 in Japan), but I also get five of them in one order, so 🤷‍♀️

Anyway, perfect pick-me-up after a long job interview

[Bre Bailey @BreBailey005]

@3S0CG It definitely is!

[Bre Bailey @BreBailey005]

Problem: I don’t know how to survive cold dry falls anymore.

Solution: Japanese pork soup.

Read this on a bad mental health day—you might just be replacing excitement with anxiety. https://t.co/dQbsRdrgXc

Step 1: Fill basket with filter and coffee
Step 2: Fill carafe with water
Step 3: Turn on coffee maker
Step 4: “Why don’t I hear brewing?”
Step 5: 🤬
Step 6: Pour water into back of coffee maker to be dripped

I call it the “Four Interviews Down, Two to Go” process.

So glad to see the conversation on burnout continuing with ⁦@annehelen⁩ at the helm. I just left a job I’d burnt out at before COVID, but it was tempered by a contract-mandated 4-day work week. I’d love to see that practice become more widespread. https://t.co/3khPbq7QGW

I'm beginning to think that the entire experience of US healthcare is calling a number and being put on hold.

“This position wears many hats.” Ok well this position better pay many dollars.

Some days job hunting means submitting resumes and preparing for interviews. Other days it means finishing a book in your pajamas (The Hate U Give—wow!), going to the gym, and baking pumpkin bread during a downpour.

It’s the little things that keep you going.

[Bre Bailey @BreBailey005]

@cosmoslibrarian Thank you 🥰 I also got one of the Solar System, but that has yet to be framed.

[Bre Bailey @BreBailey005]

Finally got around to framing my GORGEOUS city maps. From top to bottom I have London (where I visited twice), Tokyo (where I lived for four years) and Hong Kong (where I visited for four days).

To see in detail, check out the original prints: https://t.co/zNpu1nPN5D

@cosmoslibrarian @verge @amelia_acker Let me know what you come up with! To add data point, I mostly use my search function for finding old resumes so I can scavenge their bullet points 😬

[Bre Bailey @BreBailey005]

Talk about a paradigm shift! @Verge makes it clear why I follow the filing system and why my students (and some of my friends) dump all their documents in one place. @cosmoslibrarian have you encountered this with the younger people at JPL?

SO excited that the James Webb Telescope is (hopefully!) launching this December. Check out everything it’s going to help us do!

@c_dan4th By the way, Twitter notified me of your tweet and labeled it as “adventure travel”, just so you know.

[Bre Bailey @BreBailey005]

@c_dan4th Just a smidge. Maybe.

[Bre Bailey @BreBailey005]

I spent the past day and a half reading through every one of @Polygon’s investigations into animated failures. (As a former ling major, I of course saved Atlantis for last.) Next time you think your work/project flopped, read one of these.
