Trying to figure out my 1st ever US health insurance package. I'm overwhelmed by the info (and thank goodness for informative youtube videos) and cannot understand why we USians think this shitty, expensive and fragmented health care system is the best we can do. Do better USA.

First paycheck in the USA day! I can't decide whether to splash out on ice cream or redecorating my entire office. ADHD makes things very much either or.

About that the time when, 30 mins before a job offer zoom call, without a working mobile phone, there was loud construction on my street that probs caused the power outage which absolutely fried my internet. My resourcefulness knows no bounds. I blame academia. I now have a job.

Thanks @reggiemurphy and all for a great discussion today and for the hope that a diverse background is an asset in #UXR.

If someone asked you, out of the blue, how you actually conduct research analysis, would you have an answer other than it depends on the method and on the needed output?

I heard a German accent at the bakery today and I almost stopped to ask if they wanted to be friends. I actually regret not asking.

My Galentine's Day was filled with roast lamb and veggies, homemade sourdough bread, Central PA rum, lamington ice cream, Pixar (Luca), Disney (Encanto), lovely friends, and a cheeky 9 yr old who kicked my rump at Pokemon.

Remember that time at that grad summer school when that well-known tenured prof did that thing and everyone with any power just tisk tisked and went on doing their own things? Yeah, me too.

I've reached the stage of #postphdlife where I no longer feel the dread of an impending deadline looming over my evenings. I don't even want to procrasta-netflix or procrasta-clean. Is this what normal people feel like?

Sometimes, in winter, walking ten minutes to the grocery store seems like the biggest battle of the day.
