PhD grad working as a researcher & trying to figure out what's next.

Reminder: a PhD isn't a test of intelligence but a test of persistence.

Me: quits jobs and takes a lil career break

Cost of living: goes up
My dog: develops costly health problems
My friends: send me 2 wedding & 3 baby shower invites

[Dr. Girly Grad @GirlyGrad]

Guess who is quitting another job!

Good morning to everyone except that troll on Twitter who referred to my writing as nauseating🌞

During this third round of an R&R, the editor decides to mention they don't want any footnotes lol

As I get older I move further from the idea of a “dream job” and closer to a holistic “dream life” where I work on projects that I am passionate about without relying on for subsistence and am able to maintain a significant amount of time for friends, family, self, and community.

@CharlotteKupsh Worth noting - I'm in the social sciences and this lines up with other CVs I've seen in my general field(s)

[Dr. Girly Grad @GirlyGrad]

@CharlotteKupsh Then I have another section called "Other Publications", & the subsections are Reports, News Sources and Op-Eds, and Blog Posts

Today, having a small panic attack counts as writing.

A reminder of the word ‘forswunk’ (13th century): exhausted from too much work. To be ‘foreswunk’ is to be exhausted before you even begin.

Any tips for dealing with burnout when you are unable to take a long break or leave your current position?
(Being unable to take a long break or leave is not up for debate)

[Dr. Girly Grad @GirlyGrad]

All my friends want to do the scariest haunted houses and escape rooms and such. I have enough fear in my life courtesy of my to do list, thank you.

[Dr. Girly Grad @GirlyGrad]

Me when a meeting is postponed: Haha fuck yeah!!! Yes!!

Me in that meeting a week later, still unprepared: Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck

[Dr. Girly Grad @GirlyGrad]

I guest lectured for one of my committee members' classes the other day and he introduced me by saying that he always loves hearing more about my research 🥲
