Sometimes I wish I had a simpler job with a much less stress environment. But then I remember how much I love my job & the people in it.

Oh yeah, I'm supposed to be asleep between night shifts too, so that's also a problem.

I select by only reviewing for journals that publish named reviews and responses along with paper. Still too rare in #pubichealth. Having received too many lazy, anonymous reviews myself, I think open peer review is one way of improving a poor system.
Okay, I think I just completed my 39th or 40th article reviews of the year. Insane amount of reviewing for journals. I also did 3 tenure reviews. I'm going to be more selective next year.
