haha, the weekend is the weekend!

maybe I'll try some YouTube catch up compilation....

I'm enjoying some of the newer Disney series. Never watched the Clone Wars.. what's the required watching to get up to date?

I'm a woman and my daily pair are from the mens section of Specsavers. I love my glasses so much I got a second identical pair lol

Oh a new site to buy Midori products from! I swear if I go to Japan im just coming back with a bag full of stationery.

I'm currently using the generic so we'll see.. :(

Thanks for the supportive comments everyone. 🥹 I actually gave the FREE Nurse -On-Call service a ring as well, just because I started getting a bit worried after reading some other potential symptoms I might be having. Regardless the nurse was so thorough and amazing, and I didn't have to leave my bed. It's a free service and saves a trip to the doc (I'll still go to change my birth control).

But anyway, +1 for free Nurse on Call.

Omg.... It's sugar week for me soooo

Been feeling like I have a massive constant headache lately, it's a semi regular thing. Went to the pharmacist to renew my birth control and get some aspirin for my headaches. The pharmacist actually ran back up to me whilst I was paying to suggest that maybe I'm having a bad reaction to the birth control, it's a potential side effect. I'm so grateful to her quick thinking. Heading back to my GP next week.

Honestly imo should be part of a semi regular clean. Maybe not every time but even the areas around the handle and light switch get grotty.

Wiping the door knobs and lights switches! You gotta do it otherwise they get all grotty.

I'm older than most of the Matilda's and I still want to be them when I grow up 🥲

I think I'll talk to my GP. He's been a bit worried about my blood pressure. 😳

Work has me anxious. I hate my office but I need to stick it out whilst I look for a new job.

Today I went in and actually felt very faint... I'm a bit worried. Low level panic attack or something else? I took the afternoon off...

That helps too 🤣 but this was the first Matilda's game I watched.

What an amazing game.

I'm not really much of a sport watcher. But I've found myself following the Matilda's this world cup - I think it's the fact we're hosting and they're a home team.

So tense! Helps that soccer is pretty easy for a newbie to follow.

This sounds excellent! I don't have a food processor plus this saves cleaning one thing.

So did you do the choc ripple bikkies instead of blitzing the generic. choc biscuits and mixing with melted butter?

Slept so terribly last night. Woke up multiple times, couldn't get comfy. So strange! I went to sleep so comfy...

No worries. I'm currently a PhD student.

I haven't really broken into the field. I do write but don't consider it a strength, I do consider my verbal communication skills to be my strength.

I've just seen enough from the PhD students around me who are all struggling. We don't see much hope in terms of employment. There are many generations of Masters/PhD students ahead of you who have just graduated and are looking for roles.

Not to say you shouldn't do it, just know that it isn't a guarantee that it'll help you stand out. But you will gain new skills (hopefully) which could help you find a job.

I've seen some more technical roles come up where having a PhD would maybe make people consider you overqualified.

What roles are you looking for? I'm quite familiar with the academic market as I have 3 degrees at this point. .

My advice is to keep looking for technical roles. I'm not sure what's your background, but don't fall into the trap of doing more research degrees to become more competitive for hiring because the market for hiring people with research Masters/PhDs is fucked.
