London academia is a small place & it helps that everyone knows or is friends with your spouse
For this reason also hesitating to say the name straightaway too
UCL student means it takes about 5 mins and colleagues know everything about you
Might all be fine now
❤️❤️❤️
Next thing at work:
What is the sudden change all about?
By its nature the workplace, working with strangers is not actually the safest & the fact you have to work closely with men/women can be uncomfortable for both #covering up
At this point who knows what it gets up to, just listening to it & doing the work.
Whatever your potential nothing happens without doing the work!
❤️❤️❤️❤️
After much experience with Professors, often when you ask them a simple question even like “why do we have different hair colours?” the answer is often I don’t know
Turns out they probably do know but that involves a detailed answer or they could write an entire textbook on the subject. Easier for them to just say no.
Same with 2 word exam question answers #virology ???
Maybe it is hard to understand but if you have a good looking partner then am actually fine with them covering up at work.
Last thing you want is girls going crazy & chasing them (often in front of you), just because they think no one can understand.
Husband = Actually care❤️
What is Doctors being so calm about?
For GP’s dealing with one complaint per appointment is their job
Same with mental health, dealing with psychiatric issues is doing theirs
#Getting round to it
#Almost done
❤️❤️❤️
When someone randomly starts walking up to & chasing you apparently you have to give them a full explanation for why you’re laughing at them so much.
Do you finally understand why your behaviour is crazy now?
#too cool for you
❤️❤️❤️❤️
With making any personal announcements unfortunately we have to take into account my whole life & the entire crazy that this involves:
Rather than someone staying behind & fighting for sake of it, really just want them to leave easily & leave us alone
Announce once they’re gone!
As they say when buying clothes in India you need to stay classy.
Being desperate & stripping off does not suddenly make you prettier than someone who is covered up & might be!
Do gym boys get awkward to show their body after some point too? Big baggy t shirts/over sized tops??
Am now with those dr’s for whom being obsessed with what they wear day to day at work is actually just really annoying. Especially if this leads to competing?
Rather looks like am now mostly rewearing the same (style of) normal clothes.
If patients or fellow staff actually find out everything about you & get too embarrassed to talk then it’s a problem & defeats object of being management
Great, tried to control this as much as I can with Twitter but looks like the next behaviour I’m going to be pushed into is shouting & screaming at people in real life
The fact that (adult) children are still crazy & shouting so you’re getting me involved to calm them down..
Also I’ve been trying to do UCL staff for years/plastic surgery but did I really have to do it fully to come back?
Ie, the last 3 years of straight & studying are incredibly annoying now!
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Maybe you should take your own advice of not letting people get used to lifestyles young when later on they won’t be able to support it financially.
Take the pain away beforehand is kinder than severe disappointment later on!
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Even if you’ve known of someone all along maybe there is a right time to actually meet them. Liked them in the first place & again now, not quite sure what happened in between.
In my case you’re now meeting a responsible grown up who works/takes career seriously & is into family!
This desperation of emailing professors on my Twitter for a “way in.” Apparently even dr’s who thought they were earning the big bucks young, reality has hit & they’re starting to realise that making higher money & getting well paid jobs isn’t as easy as they thought.
