I found 2 Easter eggs I had completely forgotten about under a blanket today and I will admit, it made receiving 2 job rejections significantly more bearable. Surprise chocolate is the answer! #jobhunting #academia #phdlife

New challenge: I have 5 weeks to make a waistcoat to wear to my viva. This may be the biggest challenge in my PhD yet…maybe, cutting the words down was pretty damn hard #phd #viva #sewing
I’ve been stood up for my class so hell yeah imma sit here and do research instead #academia #teaching
I’m confused as to where people are getting these lynx that are being illegally released in scotland, is there like a black market pets at home out there? #scotland #wildlife #lynx
I ran out of snacks and can’t afford to buy more. This is not how I envisioned my life being at (almost) 39… #savehighereducation #worstluckforjobs

Rainy days indeed my friend, this job hunt will be the death of me #phd #badtiming
So I was up for hours questioning what I’m supposed to do about finding a job after April. I decided this morning to carry on with my online philosophy course to distract me, now I’m questioning if I’m a “brain-in-a-vat”. I think I need to lie down… #philosophy #ineedapermanentjob
I’ll be honest, it’s really starting to feel like I’m just not meant to have a career, and now I have the added bonus of possessing academic qualifications that render me “overqualified” for any other job I might apply for. 😩 #rejection
How did I get to 38 before realising that Siouxsie and the Banshees are awesome?! Could I become a born again trad goth? Let’s try Bauhaus next! #music #tradgoth #1980s
After two days of avoiding the news I have instantly regretted my decision to look this morning, with the exception of the story of Mittens the cat on the guardian, the world has already plummeted through the 9 circles of hell #sadtimes #dantesinferno
For a “positive duck” I catch this little guy clearly giving up on existing quite regularly! #positivity #mondayblues
Today I am avoiding the news and playing away in my imaginary world filled with books, crafts, guinea pigs and nice people #escapism #wakemeupin4years
For anyone curious: crow friends may bring you presents, but do you know what magpie friends bring you? SASS. They bring you all the sass. They beautiful and intelligent sassy pants birds! (I do love them though) #magpies #birdfeeder #crows #birdwatch #wildlife
I may be biased as an accounting historian but I think accounts offer such a fascinating insight into life and society. There can be so much learned from the financial footprints we leave behind
Nothing like running from one end of the campus to the other to introduce yourself to your students. Bursting through the door unable to speak you’re so out of breath. I’m never one to make a mundane first impression! 😳🤦🏻‍♀️🫣 #peakphysicalcondition #lecturing #fitnessgoals
Good grief I seem overly determined to spill my tea all over the place this morning! (My actual tea, this is not an attempt to master young people lingo) #tea #chaos
I’ve seen a few examples lately of authors who wrote or developed the idea for their novels whilst doing their PhD. At first I thought it was an avoidance thing but the more I think on it, I get it, I can think of some interesting ideas for a fictional tale based on what I’ve learned #phd #writing
The onesie is on, let’s get writing! #goals #writing #phd
Trying to write my first draft conclusion and I am procrastinating LIKE A CHAMP! #phd #writing #procrastination #academia
You know how normal people yell at the tv during sports matches? Well I am over here talking to my phd feedback comments… #notweirdatall #phd #writing
