Hello, I'm new…ish

I decided to stop lurking and get one of these things.

Doctoral student. Don't ask me about my dissertation or I may cry. Passed this fucking thing woohoo! Now a postdoc. Almost done with postdoc.

Started in the humanities. Took a looooong detour. Now in the social sciences.

From the northeast US.

I like books (when I have time to read) and hiking (when I can get to the mountains). I became a hockey fan during the pandemic. Whoops.

I am glad that Seth Jarvis won and that Carter Hart lost, and those are all of my opinions on the cup this year

[quick-now-here-now-always]

radio announcer just said something like "when the other team's having its way with you in the defensive zone"

i swear that they don't listen to themselves

now canes defeat vgk and you'll be reincarnated as a lotus flower

[etheltempest]

this might be the worst quiz i’ve ever taken (affectionate/derogatory)

what it says on the tin

[quick-now-here-now-always]

Not really a canes fan but I’m glad their baby goalie won it

(I guess I’m a de facto canes fan in that I’m rooting against v*gas)

Apropos of nothing and everything:

After so many years of being a student/trainee, it is very weird to cold email people with my CV and have them respond with YES, LET’S TALK.

One of my grad school friends called it a total mindset shift and it really is

[quick-now-here-now-always]

Adding this:

I talked to the clinic director at a hospital this week and she was like, well. We have nothing open now, but I like your experience, so let me talk to our leadership and see if we have the budget to open a position

I’m a little gobsmacked

[quick-now-here-now-always]

I had interviews! And I think they went well

And someone at the…ok, do not want to say name the org because it would be really easy to dox myself. But I do lots of evals for this study and you have to do a training on the gold standard assessment. The folks who develop it just reached out to me and said, hey want to test (/try to break) out our new training program. And the answer is YES absolutely the old one was buggy as hell

[quick-now-here-now-always]

Apropos of all of this:

I have two job offers. One will require me to move back to new england. The other is in the city where I live now.

I am entirely torn. And I have to make a decision by Tuesday.

[quick-now-here-now-always]

Aaaand I’m rolling home to old New England. Shipping up to Boston. Think I’ll start a new life. Whatever song you want to sing about it

(and i think i have, actually, been homesick, so there’s that too)

my dad is not necessarily a hockey fan, but he’s a general sports enjoyer. His main hockey opinion is that Canadian teams should always win, which I’m adopting both for the playoffs and Worlds. Anyway. Go Oilers, Leafs, Jets (in no particular order) and Team Canada.

(We are not Canadian, by the way. My dad is very much an Old New Yorker)

[quick-now-here-now-always]

Reblogging this from a year ago to add: I have a soft spot for the Avs, but in the spirit of my dad, go habs go

And Team Canada, of course

And we’re good either way in the Walter Cup!

“scientists don’t want you know” is a phrase that always cracks me up because if you actually meet a scientist they will be shaking and crying like an overstimulated chihuahua with the need to let you know

I’m really proud of them. They fought really hard. And I’m gonna just be upset about it for a while

But we got the best playoff hockey from this team that I’ve seen in fucking years.

[quick-now-here-now-always]

they fought so hard and i'm so proud of them
