Ook met afwasmachine is er nog genoeg vaat omdat dat ene mes er niet bij mag en die gietijzeren pan eigenlijk ook niet en deze koffiemok is te bijzonderen en oh je moet niet vergeten de boel even voor te spoelen en het is beter babyspeentjes niet in de afwasmachine te doen en aaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

Maar heb je dan geen last van het Calvinisme? (maw: ik mag geen plezier hebben voordat ik heb geleden)

how is he doing post-op?

The major upsides often being the massive amounts of freedom and the low teaching load!

Which is a bad combination with the flexibility a postdoc demands.
4. There is less of a cohort to support you
5. You are now supposed to be this grown-up researcher who can deal with shit. And you are that! But that also makes it more demanding

The last one is perhaps projection..

Reflecting on it a bit I've come up with the following:
1. Contracts are often shorter than PhD and therefore more precarious
2. You are often already quite tired from the PhD when you start.
3. They happen during a phase of life when you might want to settle down/have children (1/..)

Must it be medievalists? For me, personally, the postdoc phase has been much harder than the PhD phase and would have loved to have been prepared a bit better for this.
