Congratulations - what an amazing feeling! Glad to hear your ex got you a nice gift to acknowledge your hard work (Mr.TARDIS got me nothing). Here is to your continued success!

Holy hell - best of luck to you! That sounds like a manipulative individual, and here’s hoping he gets to a safe place soon.

What a great feeling to know that hustle was for yourself and your own financial gain! Congratulations on your hard work!

Directing overseas offices sounds like a real bitch! Glad you survived the week and hopefully you are relaxing some this weekend.

We are crossing our fingers and legs for you! Glad that the fertilization is successful, and YOU GOT THIS! Hoping for good news next week (and the next and the next!).

And especially when you’re feeling like poo, home cooking is the best kind of cooking. Hope you all are feeling better very soon.

Hopefully there was no drool on the iPad, and that people get their butts in gear next week for you.

Awesome! I start my first one on Friday after two months of “will they or won’t they?” funding questions. Congratulations on landing your second in your field, and good luck on the sponsorship!

OMG preach! Trying to get authorization for anything or recognition in academia is such a soul-suck, no matter how much good you do - I know what you’re talking about after 20+ years in academia. Congratulations on starting your volunteer hours and I’m so happy to hear you feel worthwhile and proud of your efforts -…

Congratulations on the new opportunity and raise! Give it some time to settle - it might be those first-week new-job jitters. I agree with you r.e. the paycheck - my postdoc is paying me $15K more than I made as the assistant director of a college in my university. I’m pretty nonplussed about the gig overall as it’s…

Oh, wow! That is so wonderful that you are able to give back in the same way that you were helped. Congratulations!

Good for you - and here’s to seeing that OT money! Crying once is a huge victory, as is being successful in keeping everything above water all week.

You only get one Senior Week, so congratulations on giving your liver a final exam! Here’s hoping that the guy is responsive and something good comes out of you chatting him up.

YAY! What a relief, isn’t it? So glad to hear you scored such a great gig.

You definitely should! I would say that out of the people there, only three were on key (myself included; at least, I *think* I’m on key!). At some places, it’s like a competition from the movie “Duets” - and then you just go somewhere else and don’t feel intimidated. The ‘funnest’ places are greasy,…

Not easy for sure! Thank you. They were very supportive and cheering wildly, so that was cool.

That is some perseverance - go, you! I definitely would’ve taken a million excuses not (including the ones work-related) not to make it, so good on you for working through the challenges.

Hopefully it was a ‘good tired’ and you got some rest - those lights are amazing!
