Yay! This was a joy to read. Congratulations on your massive achievement, Dr. Rachie! And fuck yeah - you must absolutely partake in pride for turning down the post doc work. Get some time away from academia. I ended up having what I coined as a “mini burn out” taking a half year off from work to recover, a year after my PhD, since going directly into a full time job literally the day after my defense was (*spoiler alert*) a bAd IdEa.
Miss you and hope all is super well! Looking forward to more words on the page, and sending all the good vibes from Sweden—-
Ricky! First of all I miss you so much and was recently thinking about you, so hearing from you is a nice little surprise. I relate to everything you said so much. I started the postdoc the week after submitting my thesis, and surprise surprise, I'm burnt the fuck out one year later. No one warns you about how soul-destroying a PhD is, or that it's okay (and necessary) to take time off to recover. I hope you've been able to heal from the whole thing and find your sparkle again.
Dr. Rachie! I'm still celebrating your achievement (and will for the rest of my life). And you know what else is a cat? Everything GOOD in this world. XO Mom
Greetings from "RAINY" California. Yes, we're actually getting some rain today.
