EDIT: also, yes, anxiety is hitting hard (hence the knitting). No backup plan, and the real job sucks. Sorry your job sucks. I know the feeling, I'm half employed but looking for a second job. If there are enough people interested, we should totally do a KAL. What would we do? Probably something relatively easy so more people could participate and something gender neutral, so maybe a scarf? Or we could do it for the entire TGC to attract more people.

majorshake Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 I work full time at my university's research office. The job is helping academics apply for grants (writing/editing, whatever they need) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK2 Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Thesis, thesis, abstract for presentation about thesis, quasi-argument with advisor about thesis, thesis, some exams and studying for stuff that isn't the thesis, four (!) separate part-time jobs at the university and now starting another one at a gov ministry, all of which together just scrape past monthly minimum wage together with my thesis scholarship, which bring me back to, right, thesis, thesis, hanging out late in the department working on my thesis and getting a nostalgia trip from a senior professor rearranging his office at half past 8 pm, making me doubt - on a deep, dark coffee break of the soul sort of level - the whole notion of going one inch further in an academic career but also getting tips for, yes, the thesis. hector549 and goldenstardust11 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hector549 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Anyone else a fan of The Partially Examined Life? I've been listening to it a lot recently. Because I work full-time right now, it's a nice way to fit in some philosophy while I'm driving to work or walking around during my lunch break. Or I'll listen to my other favorite, Entitled Opinions, while I'm falling asleep. It's weirdly relaxing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, right! Sven Nykvist had an amazing eye. And Max von Sydow is unmistakable. Edited February 9, 2017 by jkm871 Glasperlenspieler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For myself, I'm reading (currently The Help by Kathryn Stockett), knitting, binge-watching Pretty Little Liars (I'm late to the game), and hanging out with my cat mostly. Once my brain's recovered a bit, I'll continue translating some Plato Weirdly, I too binged PLL after finishing applications. I guess we were about to start season 5 that year, and I got through the first four seasons I think within the first week of submitting applications. goldenstardust11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
