These are peculiar times. It's definitely OK to struggle to be productive with everything that is going on. Stay safe and take good care of yourselves. #COVID19 #AcademicChatter #phdchat #mentalhealth

@Dr_LPrendergast For years I got calls back from the garage with "unfortunately, because you have a sports version, it'll cost..." 😂 I know the pain.

@Sci_Phile Respectful tone of this video is what I appreciate the most, I think. (as someone born in the USSR) Thank you

I've noggled it this semester, and the semester before it, and the one before that... #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter #impostersyndrome #AcademicMentalHealth

Word of the day is to 'noggle' something: 19th-century English dialect meaning to manage something with difficulty/to just about scrape through.

(As in 'I could barely get out of bed this morning, but I noggled it somehow'.)

@Dr_Meming @OpenAcademics @AcademicChatter Haha, can confirm. Worrying about work 5pm-2am, then actually doing it until 6am is not a sustainable work model 🤣🤣💀

@Amy_De_Ath As mentioned above, the expectation is to be working during "write up". Sadly

@NorinaGasteiger a colleague in the office next to mine sometimes calls me on mine 💀 [I too am a millennial, so I do not pick up]

[Dr Hedge @LifeOfHedge]

@nbhansen Even my sneakers are ECCO. 😬

[Dr Hedge @LifeOfHedge]

@Dr_Meming @OpenAcademics @AcademicChatter Doc: have you been under a lot of stress lately?
Me: I'm in my final year of PhD
Doc: Say. No. More 😬

@ZJAyres My productivity has been near-zero past 4 months. I've felt so guilty for struggling to work through depression. Yesterday boss said I'm doing a great job. I'm so grateful for that, because it made me feel so much better. Here's to genuinely understanding management 🍻

[Dr Hedge @LifeOfHedge]

@Dr_Meming @OpenAcademics @AcademicChatter I even went to a supermarket yesterday to get some work shirts with reindeer on them. 🤡 The reindeer and the bauble ear-rings did not make me look any less tired.

[Dr Hedge @LifeOfHedge]

@Dr_LPrendergast @UoNUCU We didn't meet the quota, but getting re-balloted. Fingers crossed! Solidarity. 💪

Gutted to have to cancel tomorrow's open house for the second time in a row. Just not enough interest. I am always open online though at https://t.co/9vKdngzfED

@ZedScience I teach growth economics for 4h every year. When I read the chapter in the book, it all makes sense. As soon as I'm in front of the class and about to open my mouth... That's when I realise I ain't got a clue. 🤣
