For you, if you need to hear it: I give you permission to care about money, to want to have more of it, to support your life and your family and to provide you with resources so you can do better in the world.

If you'll be on the job market, for any job, there are a bunch of important things to do beforehand.

In academia we don't think too much about them. When it comes to the wider world of jobs, you'll never be able to focus (and thus have employers focus on you) without these.

I just spelt "analyzing" "analysing". Didn't realize until Word flagged it. British English is now taking over.

Self-promotion time! If you are hoping to find an extra set of eyes to look over your article/story/writing, send me a DM and I would love to get to work on it for a very low rate.

@lizgross144 We’re already wondering if Christmas is cancelled in Europe.

[Jennifer Polk, PhD (she, her) @FromPhDtoLife]

Oh, in totally unrelated news, I had a job interview 3 weeks ago and I don't have any news about that. In case you were wondering. In the meantime, I carry on as if I won't be offered the position.

if you have kids in your life, buy them books for Christmas. local bookstores are going to need all the help they can get to survive the long winter and nothing beats the joy of placing in a child's hands the book that makes them fall in love with reading.

Train travel: cool as as cucumber. New apartment: terrifying. Currently being served premium dried salmon under the bed.

@FromPhDtoLife Yay! I got all these right. Please don’t ask me about the other provinces though 😅

@kimberleydaly Mine is a night owl. Her timing is impeccable. 5 minutes after we turn off the lights to go to sleep. Every night without fail the wild zoomies and meows for attention start.

I know they make sense in some contexts, and can be useful as an exercise; otherwise, I don't urge folks to have a 5 year plan.

Life, work, the world we live in is too complex, too uncertain.

Instead, know your values & strengths & deeper desires and go do good, brave things.

Fellow teachers: one of my students just sent me A SELFIE FROM THE HOSPITAL to prove he wasn’t just slacking off in class & again I say: WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING IN THEIR OTHER CLASSES? Please be kind. Be generous. Trust students. & if you get “fooled” this semester? Who cares.

"Strengths are how we solve problems when we’re at our best. 

A skill is a manifestation of a strength in a particular kind of situation."

Ended the day with a workshop where we got in breakout rooms and shared our experiences with a partner. My partner helped me identify strengths and skills in myself.
