anabegins: Its...personal
http://ana-begins.blogspot.com/2015/05/itspersonal.html
To change her mind. Monday, May 18, 2015. In my quest to become less stupid about money, I familiarized myself with a whole new corner of the internet- -personal finance blogs. I was particularly drawn to the super-frugal, early retire in your 30s type of blogs. Not that I want to retire early (ha! I didn't even start a real job until my 30s, no interest compounding through my 20s for me) but the idea of financial independence and the freedom that it brings is enticing. Retire 2 years earlier? It was rea...

https://pregnantphysicist.wordpress.com/2015/07/13/overcoming-self-injection-anxiety-and-other-pregnancy-after-loss-anxieties-too
The greatest WordPress.com site in all the land! Overcoming Self-Injection Anxiety (and other Pregnancy After Loss anxieties too). I wanted to write with an update on my continuing issues with self-injection anxiety. Hey, needles have never bothered me, and this is something new and interesting! Wait, I have to do this to myself every day? He could at least help give me the injections! I cried tears of anger and frustration. I tried to bully myself into doing it. I spent 10-20 minutes per day sit...Here ...

Stressful Times for Psyc Girl. Continually trying to survive the next level of academia. This is where it (hopefully? August 2, 2015. August 2, 2015. Not since the year of living in Number Two City have I gone so long (almost two months! Between blog posts. This has been a turbulent summer for me, overall. I have missed blogging – and lots of drafts are sitting here, ready to be finished. I also needed some time to regroup, move blog homes (whatcha all think? I have to draw a line in the sand. I could sp...

August 21, 2015. August 17, 2015. It’s no secret that part of the reason I was recruited is because funding is extra tight these days and an industry connection can only help (unless that industry connection is Bernie Madoff). I’ve secured one small local grant from a nonprofit, but more importantly, a rather sizable (not R01, but pretty nice) chunk from my old employer (I’ll talk about this later). Industry funding →.

6 month update | academic infiltration
https://academicinfiltration.wordpress.com/2015/12/03/6-month-update/comment-page-1
December 3, 2015. November 27, 2015. So I’m 6 months into this new role and here are just a few observations:. My spouse and I live a fairly frugal life so we didn’t think the pay cut would matter, but this MASSIVE pay cut is felt. Not necessarily in our day-to-day lives. But we’re not saving as much as we used to. And if we want to take a spur-of-the-moment trip to Italy, I have the freedom to now, but I’m concerned about using the cash. I had a past post about this: I miss my old colleagues. They w...

Guess I can’t satisfy everyone…. September 3, 2015. September 3, 2015. On the plus side, my students are kind of taking after me and completing everything I give to them. I’m genuinely surprised. I don’t have kids, but watching every little thing they do and inferring how great they’ll be as scientists is something I realized I like doing. Jeez, this sure is lonely and time-consuming. Guess I can’t satisfy everyone…. On 6 month update. GeneralizingEuropean on 6 month update. On 6 month update.

November 17, 2015. A couple times another prof or my lab tech (I’ll write a post on my new lab tech soon) have joined. I forgot how much better this is. Now, don’t get me wrong. I’m working a shitload and I’m certain this amount of work and stress will eventually be the end of me, but I’m certain I’d have to work more to get less done if I wasn’t taking these decompression breaks. TLDR; Go outside for your breaks. It’s good for your soul. Eating at your desk gives you crotchety madman’s disease.
