Thank you so much! It has been an eight year journey through adjuncting and one TT/one adjunct. It feels so good to finally have this opportunity!

I’m late to this (I go to bed early and I’m not sorry) but for once I actually HAVE something to brag about! My boss called me in at the end of the day Friday and presented me with a new contract for a next year. It’s a new position and a substantial raise (I knew a promotion was a possibility but I didn’t think I’d…

I called my dad and set up taking time off work to visit. Now I have to KEEP calling to remind him to set aside those days because he can’t remember anything. #agingparentdread

Oooh, have you gotten to The Parasites yet?

I make that too. I’ve done it with turkey and pork. It’s good!

I’ve survived two weeks of a surgical rotation where everyone is an asshole, I’m at the hospital 5 am - 8 pm, and I’ve lost 4 pounds because I never have a chance to eat. Two weeks to go...

Both my husband and I landed new tenure track jobs! It is super exciting!

I churned out a stellar critical analysis paper at the last minute on Tuesday and landed a new job Thursday. I convinced my MiL to do a video documentary on her first hand experiences after Dr King’s assassination. I found food my toddler will eat that’s not chicken nuggets or fries! That one’s rockin!

Congrats on your new position! It is great when hard work finally pays off.

Congratulations!

Congrats! Welcome to postdoc life! :)

That is so lovely of you!

My grandmother went into assisted living as of yesterday and I feel raw about it. My mom/dad and aunt have been taking care of her more or less since December. My brother and I live halfway across the country, but my three adult cousins—who all live within 10 miles of grandma—have been totally useless. Worse still,…

This week has really, really tested me, y’all. This year had been, frankly, pretty good, often great! ...Up until this week. But now...

Ahhh you guyyyyyyys after a whole bunch of non-starter dates and being ghosted by a guy who seemed cool and then turned out to be a cowardly fuckboy, something may have stuck.  I had my third date with a guy last night and it was great. He is great. I’m trying not to get TOO excited because people can surprise you in…

DAMN IT my fucking Mac decided to restart itself whilst I was in the midst of typing a big rant.

So I finally told my parents that I can’t have them staying in my house anymore. I think I told them everything. I told them they make me feel trapped in my own house, that they don’t respect my house as being mine, that they disrupt my schedule and affect my mental and physical health. I told Them that last year they…

I have been trying to limit and eventually remove my toxic mom from my life. She’s been super emotionally abusive for as long as I can remember — and she’s joined forces with my asshole sister. My anxiety and depression soared last month and I just needed some space from everything.

Big Foot’s neurology appt was a giant waste of time from the standpoint that any doctor in the free world could have done these neuro checks closer to home and then relayed the info to the doctor, but oh well. He did up the dosage of her current medicine to keep her seizure free.

I’m having some serrrrrriiiiiouuussss dopamine/oxytocin withdraw.
