Research Problems

Just a grad student tweeting all the problems that go along with this life decision. Cause if it goes right the first time, it isn't research.

New problem solving acronym SAIN:
Shower
Alcohol
Ice cream
Nap
That's how you stay SANE in Grad School.
If SAIN can't fix it, nothing can...

@VZWSupport Just did.

@ComcastCares
#mobile_Care @ComcastCares
#mobile_Care The only company where they make service appointments then cancel them without telling while billing you for the time they aren’t providing service... Makes you feel like they care

[Research Problems @ResearchProbs]

@comcastcares And the response is... an apology (which is actually appreciated), but with no actionable steps forward... @verizon do you offer competitive internet service yet?

[Research Problems @ResearchProbs]

@comcastcares Okay I will try. But I doubt you can make up for the way I have been treated. If there was another internet option in my area, I would 100% use them.

[Research Problems @ResearchProbs]

@comcastcares I have tried to call in. I have tried chat. I had agents lie to me directly (because the manager told me something different.) I can’t see how you can help me any better?

[Research Problems @ResearchProbs]

And you can’t cancel the service they aren’t providing you because of early cancelation fees. This is why monopolies shouldn’t exist

Life after grad school is pretty chill. You all will get there some day

I am also super excited to start my new job. It was interesting to see the variety of reactions when I tell ppl I am leaving science

[Research Problems @ResearchProbs]

I just attended my last scientific conference. Seeing the community was a blast. Makes me a bit sad to be leaving it

[Research Problems @ResearchProbs]

@Dodson_Here Hard to explain. More or less health care consulting for employers and insurance companies

[Research Problems @ResearchProbs]

After a year of job searching with nothing, I got 3 job offers in a week. #unbelievable #stillfrustrated

[Research Problems @ResearchProbs]

I just submitted my last paper ever to my PhD advisor. I pray for a smooth peer review process, but expect the worst. #stillcynical

[Research Problems @ResearchProbs]

I found a job finally! Starting on the 20th! So excited to start a new career that uses skills I learned in my PhD

[Research Problems @ResearchProbs]

@GirlyGrad Yep. Sucks... but good luck

[Research Problems @ResearchProbs]

Passed the USPTO registration exam! That was a very poorly written exam, but it is done. #GrindingForAJob

[Research Problems @ResearchProbs]

My fiancé wants me to start a business. Apparently I have a problem with authority or something. Any ideas for a business?(Please retweet)

[Research Problems @ResearchProbs]

Besides the job search, life is great. I got to see my family a lot! And I got to do a lot of woodworking! I made a dining room table!

[Research Problems @ResearchProbs]

PS I got engaged!!!!!!

[Research Problems @ResearchProbs]

Two problem problem is a pain is the arse. Love my fiancé, but holy duck. The struggle is real. Good luck everyone. Complaining done.

[Research Problems @ResearchProbs]

Have 2 more tweets to complain! I don't think it should take years to find a job. I really feel out of options in my city. Two body problem
