Found out my uncle has fallen into crazy online conspiracy theories.
Sad :(
Been at Oxford since Thursday. It's beautiful but conferencing 3 days straight is exhausting!! I can barely stay awake!
But hey, the food's lush at least and the free wine is wonderful.
I've emerged from the research depths.
PhD submission deadline regrettably pushed back by 2 months (April -> June).
But now, I'm confident I'll make it at least.
X has increasingly pushed posts full of conspiracy theories, racism, transphobia, hatred and all-round negativity towards my personal account.
It's the worst I've ever seen it... genuinely now depressing to go on.
Thank God for BlueSky.
On out-of-hours emergency work call duty today.
One person contacted me asking about getting more tea and coffee in the staff kitchen urgently 'as it's extremely critical.'
I said if that was worth calling the emergency line.
They said yes and to escalate it as a priority.
Okay π
I actually love this a lot. I might try this in 2025! Thanks for the inspiration πβ€οΈ

Manager: *glances at desktop* oh are you doing the end of year evaluation survey?
Me: Erm, yes?!
Manager: Oh good, make sure you do it now please we need more responses.
...and I did π€£

In a very deep thinking mood today.
My work is currently having a "restructure". My job is protected, but I worry for those who may not be able to keep their current positions.
This next year will look very different.
Hello Kat, I'm sorry to hear that. I've had some struggles myself lately with company "restructuring" at work and ridiculous workload. I'm here if you need to talk to someone β€οΈ you were very good to me at Ravenswoodstock.

Nearly at the 50k mark of my PhD!!!
If all goes to plan, I'll be handing this in around 4 months time!
Can't wait to have my life back!

Hello all, I've made it to this side of the social media pond.
I'll try to post amusing, fun or interesting moments of my busy life.
In the meantime, hoping to connect and chat with my clocktower/gamer nerd friends on here βΊοΈ
