Det här är sjukt. Jag vill ju inte ens att arbetsgiven ska veta hur mycket jag dricker på arbetstid.
Chefen får veta om du dricker mycket alkohol på fritiden – juridisk expert: ”Det här är olagligt”
Allt fler arbetsgivare i Finland låter testa sina anställda för långvarigt alkoholbruk genom ett så kallat PEth-test – trots att det inte är tillåtet.

And now that take home exam is finished and submitted. It was a small thing, compared to everything else that needs to be done, but also small victories deserve to be celebrated. #PhDSky

Deadline for take home exam is April 1. Started writing on March 1. I'm halfway through the first question out of three and I'm absolutely loathing it.

Can't help it, but I do tend to enjoy reading the inter-personal shitslinging in academic texts. The "yeah, well YOU're stupid!" written out as "so and so's theory embodies the error in its crudest form". Suits you sir, suits you! #PhDSky

Filling out a form (maybe Antwerpen for a short spell this summer?) and being completely annoyed about every little detail I'm supposed to know. Like... name of degree. And the phone number of my emergency contact. Enjoying the Sunday evening, the long dark tea time of the soul. #PhDSky

So a girl the same age is being mean to my daughter in their whatsapp group. AITA for coaching her how to be even meaner back? We tried "turn the other cheek" but that's not paying any dividends. Daughter has so far ignored my coaching, but I'll get her turned to the Dark Side, you'll see.

Högerextrema Sinimustat ordnar läsecirkel. Vilket överraskar för jag visste inte att dom var ett läsande folk. Men å andra sidan undrar jag hur många exemplar av Mein Kampf som riktigt finns på Ode.
Så förbereder sig Ode för konfrontationer på fredag
Högerextrema planerar läsecirkel som vänsteraktivister vill tränga ut.
