Like, how are you, not just as a greeting.
Up and down. Actually lots of things are falling into place, and a few “end points reached” are proving to be… just new starting points.
What to say, need to get my knee in order tough. After last marathon it is still giving me issues and i am fed up to wait and want to go back running…
Past two weeks have been such a roller coaster that I don’t even know. Thankfully I have therapy in the morning so I hope I can get the help I need to get this sorted. Things seem to be happening back to back to back that it feels, at times, that I don’t get a chance to breathe.
Ready for the general strike followed by the mass executions of the oligarch class.
Usually takes a couple years for the general public to catch up to where I’m at so biding my time.
Not fucking great.
Pretty damn stressed but also had a more productive day at work than probably the last few weeks combined so that’s nice
Upvoted for asking.
Meh.
I currently work as a postdoc in biomedical research, so my line of work was directly in the line of fire of recent Trump administration nonsense… Not great.
Beyond this though, I’m just impressed at how almost delusional my boss and some of my lab members has been. Lab PI/group leaders are responsible for bringing in grants, yet they don’t seem to even care about the fact that almost all grant reviews are paused (and some of their grants are due early Feb!)… Not to mention they seem almost happy about RFK and Bhattacharya; I do not approve of such behavior as a researcher… Especially since another student in the lab is fucking suffering from long COVID-induced chronic fatigue. I don’t understand how could some other ppl in the lab be so insensitive
To be fair, I’ve been essentially “fired” from the lab anyway. Not actually fired, but was on an 1-year contract and PI refused to renew (and it’s more difficult to fire someone than not renewing contract in Illinois law anyway). Pretty shitty behavior but I guess I should have expected a newer PI to not know how to properly lead a lab… Partly due to that, I’ve started applying for jobs in Europe two months ago and have just recently started getting interviews. All of them are scheduled early morning for me, I’m not a morning person, and at least one or two have been somewhat disrespectful so… At least I’m hoping to get at least one offer I hope?
Also am worried about selling some large possessions (furniture, hobbyist items) since I’m probably leaving the US soon. So a bit stressed recently between work and personal matters
All in all, I’m… surprisingly calm for the amount of bullshit I need to deal with. No ideal why. Maybe it’s just the power of video games lol
Nearing a psychotic amount of rage directed at the elites whose sole desire is to grind the rest of use beneath their feet.
Rip and tear, brothers.
Wondering how long it will take for the world to start world war 3 and which fascist regime were going to be fighting.
Very stressed, too much on my plate, exhausted.
Thanks for asking.
How are you?
I am great, it is the lunar new year and I am celebrating it with my family.
I made vegan fried rice for them. Most asian haven’t had vegan fried rice, because typically fried rice involves lard and egg. However, they loved the vegan fried rice so much that my cousin asked my aunt to recreate it tonight.
Pissed I found out I lost 700 in crypto 🤦 and it was my fault
I’m okay, thank you for asking. Work was a little frustrating, but it will pass. My GF’s life turned a corner, which makes me happy. And I saw Sonic. I’m not great, but today was a ‘nice’ day.
Amazing! I’m happy for you. Life isn’t often great, but if you can be happy for your gf and seeing Sonic then it could be worse.
I hate not having money…
Under a ton of stress. My job has been cut from budgets so I’m scrambling to find a job before I’m on unemployment. Currently like 60% of a months expenses behind on credit card. Chin JUST above water. Probably will have to pull from my meager savings once or twice to stay afloat. Dealing with some health stuff. Dealing with a shitty employer. Likely means I’ll need to move if I can’t figure it out quickly.
Wrapped up in all my own shit, feeling like a distant boyfriend, son, brother, friend, etc.
Making me fall behind on regular shit like doing dishes/taking out trash/doing laundry. I mean it gets done but not until it’s basically overflowing. I’ve got no bandwidth for it. Living space feeling cluttered guides my free time to being the same shit – scrolling on my phone, escaping to my couch.
Id love another pandemic tbh.
