Just a grad student tweeting all the problems that go along with this life decision. Cause if it goes right the first time, it isn't research.

New problem solving acronym SAIN: Shower Alcohol Ice cream Nap That's how you stay SANE in Grad School. If SAIN can't fix it, nothing can...

@ComcastCares #mobile_Care @ComcastCares #mobile_Care The only company where they make service appointments then cancel them without telling while billing you for the time they aren’t providing service... Makes you feel like they care

And you can’t cancel the service they aren’t providing you because of early cancelation fees. This is why monopolies shouldn’t exist
Life after grad school is pretty chill. You all will get there some day

I am also super excited to start my new job. It was interesting to see the variety of reactions when I tell ppl I am leaving science

I just attended my last scientific conference. Seeing the community was a blast. Makes me a bit sad to be leaving it

After a year of job searching with nothing, I got 3 job offers in a week. #unbelievable #stillfrustrated
I just submitted my last paper ever to my PhD advisor. I pray for a smooth peer review process, but expect the worst. #stillcynical

Two problem problem is a pain is the arse. Love my fiancé, but holy duck. The struggle is real. Good luck everyone. Complaining done.
Have 2 more tweets to complain! I don't think it should take years to find a job. I really feel out of options in my city. Two body problem
I am geographically constrained, which is a problem. But STEM seems to be saturated, at least in my market.
I have been going at it hard, but fuck. I am either under-qualified or overqualified. Can't find something. I do not want to post-doc
Job search has been shitty. A lot of interviews, but still no jobs. Networking hard, and a lot of applications. But nothing

Sorry, I needed a break from the Twitters. Believe in it, but a break was needed.
