@FishboneSoldier @RollingStone Yet all I really am is just a wee one trying to get a PhD...

@thephdstory Academia is not fair enough for a student

[Fish PhD @PhdFish]

I’m allowed to the pub again but can’t stay in the lab past 2pm. Wtf. WHY ARE WE STILL ON SHIFTS??

Stressful #phd = time to destress through my #depop addiction

@mathphuzz Take the time off!! I’m working through the bank holidays because my experiments require it, but am 100% saving those days and am taking them off as soon as I can! Taking time off is not weak - in most jobs it wouldn’t even be a choice but a requirement.

Nothing makes me feel as old as the annoyance I feel at kids partying in the park in front of my house AT NIGHT DURING LOCKDOWN

@plsleaveamsg if I survived childhood (no major accidents or diseases along the way, so let's say I got this lucky), I would've died at 17 from a nice wee thyroid storm!

[Fish PhD @PhdFish]

@PhD_Genie Everyone along the way that's tried to keep me down, to stop me, or who's underestimated me. Spite is a powerful motivator. They don't deserve the dedication though...

[Fish PhD @PhdFish]

@LuisaBorrell @PhD_Genie Honestly the only person I want to dedicate mine to... is this acceptable?

[Fish PhD @PhdFish]

things that make me think my sleep schedule is fucked: wanted to take a quick 20 minute nap. set an alarm. wake up 2h later because someone is calling me.

[Fish PhD @PhdFish]

Can someone tell my supervisor who keeps on telling me to take some time off and take care of myself and then gives me enough work for two people?

[Fish PhD @PhdFish]

Monday = bioinformatics day = I want to die #phdlife

[Fish PhD @PhdFish]

@thephdstory Honestly embarrassing how badly I need these reminders, I've been dating everything the 21st all day

[Fish PhD @PhdFish]

@PhD_Genie Getting the hell out of this place...
