I take breaks here and there at works, and at night I read online with a movie/show in the background on the TV. HN is the only outlet aggregator with a modicum of value, there's nothing else on the internet that comes close, ever

You're not alone, my bet is that most people feel the same way, or similarly so. My advice: write. Write a lot about how you feel, just like you just did. Write about your goals, hopes, dreams, how you plan on achieving those goals.

Objectively speaking I am doing great on all accounts. The only blemish is that I am working at the worst job in my long professional life. I am actively interviewing for new jobs, I get to the final stages and then I am not selected. Pres

This is a fresh perspective, and a DUH moment for me. I know quite a few PhD(s) and researchers, and a few PhD programs dropout. My takeaway up until now was "PhD = politics", but now I see that I was looking at it all wrong, I w

Good point. The untold second part of the story is that it would bring accountability by reporting that not only the deliverable is now 30 days overdue, but that they ignored 30 reminders. We use Slack at work as well, and personally I don&

Anonymity often brings out the worst in some people. In the middle of that mud we can also find honest feedback, often unfiltered and not-sugar coated. IRL people are often too overly concerned about too many things that don't matter.

We use Slack at work, and I hate it. The ratio of Signal to Noise is brutal, and there's no accountability. But the issue is not Slack per se, Slack does what Slack does: synchronous, instant, INFORMAL communication. If we want bette

Hey there. Thanks for the comment. I was in talk therapy for a while up to a few years ago for Depression. Then I was declared depression-free and I also moved. Too bad because I had a great therapist. I have never done SSRI and I don'

I'm old, my parents have Both passed away. And yes, they were both passive-aggressive (I see that now). I am not blaming them, and I am not relieving myself from my own responsibilities, I am just noticing. Time for me now to fix thing
