Friday is out there karate chopping packages straight out of mail couriers' hands?! (this is sarcasm)

im also not a fan of green bean casserole 🫠 i can do pie if it's chocolate or lemon meringue but we did cheesecake in my family usually

i did have to grate mozzarella bc i only had a lump of it but the cheese pull is worth it

they still dont know Im on T (it's been 21 months)

working w chronic models is hard bc they take 100 days per expt sometimes kcjsjzjjskss

not counting the 38 days it took to generate the samples prior to this experiment ofc

i kid you not i was so anxious the whole time I was gating it out. that was like 60 hrs of benchwork on one experiment too

i very nonchalantly just dropped that in my boss's inbox just now, made a whole ppt showing 8 diff control plots too

godddd good luck. that's a tough path even in the good times. my PI is very junior and she's pulling her hair out atm 😭😭

appreciate it!! my plan b is to become a phlebotomist 😂

at least I'll have like 3 new papers all at once at the end hcksjnda

nothing to be done now but figure out where to go next but ughhh this career thing is really hard given the circumstances around every single transition. i graduated during the gd lockdown and I gotta transition out of a postdoc during this bs.

anyway gonna see if I can break back into industry I GUESS

if it wasnt for the first bit, I would have stuck it out and gotten a better position for 2x the salary. that wasnt going to work for my mental health. so i became an immunologist in academia instead

it paid like shit and required a 6 day workweek (45 hrs) minimum for a salary that was extremely low for the area. so it wasn't great regardless.
