Free Range and Feral

I am trying to trust the process but the process has proved shady in the past.

Update I have drawn both my dissertation chair and my grad school best friend into my personal vendetta.

This is how we get decades long academic feuds

Can I retroactively review 2 this shit

Reading an article that I was not asked to review even though it’s exactly my hyper specific sandbox and texting the journal EiC “who reviewed this I wanna fight” is reasonable, yeah?

That’s just your opinion ass bullshit my opinion is peer reviewed and published fuckass

@ me when you collect your own data and write your own R packages

You did not do your own research you parroted whatever the microphone man said into your AirPod

Louder does not equal right and fuck your random dude with a microphone I have a fucking doctorate

Fuckin hate podcast bros

“Are you having trouble coping with your anxiety?”

“I have a masters degree and a doctorate.”

“Fair. Same. Let me know if you need to reup your atarax.”

Now that I am solidly “my newer doctors are close to my own age” years old I don’t have to smile and reassure them that my mental health assessment isn’t worrisome. Saying “I finished grad school in 2020” is enough.

New rheumatologist got a solid 3/10 when she looked at my inflammation markers and said “Damn girl what kinda zebra shit is this??” but 1000/10 for style tbh.

My favorite activity at the doctors office is the scorecards I hold up in my imagination to rate how new providers mask their shock and horror.

Father’s Day reminder that you don’t owe anyone your time or energy if they hurt you and disrupt your peace.

You think you can hurt me? I did arms yesterday and washed and blow dried waist length hair today. Pfft.

Update I did send the screenshot but also noted “Hi there, I actually already applied and heard back regarding this position. Message below. I hope you find the perfect candidate.”

(Because I tailored that resume and cover letter better than my own wedding dress)

(So like…maybe update your ATS keywords)

(They DMd me after I had already applied and been rejected)

Hiring manager reached out on LinkedIn encouraging me to apply for a position.

Would it be spiteful and/or petty to respond with a screenshot of their automated rejection email I got seven hours after applying for the job?

“I fucked up”

Quit adding columns in your spreadsheet if you’re not making sure your formulas are referencing the right one.

“No one else can do it like you”

Oh my god you idiot just Save As>PDF.

“Girl I miss you”

Were the data mean to you, baby?

My old project manager texts me like he’s an estranged ex when he’s mad at his boss

Happy Leg Day to whoever invented KT tape

Make demands like a cat who can see the bottom middle of their food dish.

I like to approach my problems with the indignation of a house cat that’s been locked out of the bathroom.

Happy end of the semester, especially to that one guy in my friend’s class who didn’t go to class since census day and just asked her if he could make up all three exams.
