@CapitalOne Could you please stop locking my card and making me call you? I have an app. I was forced over to Capital One from @usbank when my rewards card changed and I never thought I would miss a banking company. @REI - why did you move the CoOp MC?
@AskCapitalOne why do you lock my card at least every other week and force me to CALL YOU when I have a mobile app that I could confirm purchases on? I was forced over to you and I'm really sick of your bank.
I’m STOKED because I submitted a public works request last week about the pothole in front of my driveway that keeps stealing paint from my bumper and today I looked out to see the city workers filling it! Thanks @CSUtilities
So there it is, Twitter void. If you are near Colorado Springs or Rhode Island at any point in the next year or two, hit me up! I’m looking forward to doing some science and no longer calling TN home!
What is Twitter if not a place to shout news into the void? So, void, here are some life updates, so that maybe some slice of my circle knows what I’m up to.
1) my dissertation is officially submitted and accepted, I’m done with my PhD!
5) And now for professional news! I have accepted a postdoc at the University of Delaware with Jessica Warren, working on deforming olivine. It involves lots of squishing things in Providence with the fantastic Rock Deformation group at Brown!
Today we lost our big grey kitty. He just crested his 16th birthday and was a sweetheart to the end. I’m having a hard time processing it. He’s been around all my adult life. I‘ll miss my buddy more than I can express. I dont believe in much, but I hope he’s back with his brother

I have so many anecdotes to add, but here is one that's personal but not too personal: the fifth floor of our 7 story campus building has an honor system food pantry set up in one of the southern rooms that was supposed to be for students to use as a meeting space.
