So the first paper I am officially reviewing myself as a topic expert was a scoping review. So far, my comment is gonna be "scope harder bestie, you missed a few spots"

The module coordinator suddenly decided to change her pedagogy and make part of it a group assignment. Fuck sake. I am so annoyed. My project is so specific and now I might need to do something else 😭

It's only been 6 days since I've been accepted for publication and they are already asking me to be a reviewer. No rest for the wicked 😂

This wind is genuinely pushing me around the platform. I'm too dainty for weather events 🥺

This also comes on the same day that I get enrolled in a course that requires 200 hours of work over the next few weeks alongside my full time job so I'm stretched just a tad too thin to write a fucking grant application

Like pulling in money is postdoc work and they don't seem like they want to help me to get to that stage. They want the work with none of the benefit to my education.

I'm so goddamn tired 😩

So work seems unsure if they can fund a PhD for me but our grant person has the stones to ask me to apply for a 35K grant for educating healthcare workers on vaccination based on my published work.

I now need to figure out how to respond in a way that isn't flipping desks and telling them to F off

Like we all know academia is a racket but dropping so many stacks just to allow for the free dissemination of science feels so scummy

I know it's not my money but it's still mad that it's costing €3000+ just for the privilege to have my paper published in open access 😅

I'm not against PDA but please do it single file on narrow footpaths. Looking at you, straights.

If you know you'll get good wear out of it and you'll take care of it, the price could work out grand on a per wear basis 😊. I say that not knowing the actual cost though so there is that 😂

Replaying FFX and the part with the auld one going "You heathen, stay away from the summoner" always makes me laugh.

The only thing putting me off is that it was genuinely the only piercing that ever hurt. I genuinely walked home with my titty hanging out 😂

They bounced back my Journal submission again because apparently saying All authors for part of the contributions statement isn't clear enough for them. I swear to God, there is no need for this entire process to be so obtuse
