This was honestly the longest short week ever. Seems to be a never ending trend along with burnout. How are you feeling today compared to usual?

Quick post to say thank you to each and every one of you for the work you do. I appreciate all of my fellow social workers!

Having trouble selling my (retired) dad's house. It needs a lot of work, but has great character. What if I buy it myself for a low, low price? Then I would be able to get a FHA 203k loan to do the updates. Rent it out or put it back on the market in the spring.

Anyone going out tonight?

What do people do in Raleigh area for fun? I moved from NYC and I'll be the first to admit I find it a little slow here.

Don’t want to get into why, but been struggling hard mentally recently. Only time I can get some peace in my mind is when I nap/sleep.

Hi 👋. I posted here a few weeks ago about being nervous conducting a PIP conversation with my team member.
I did it this week and let me just say it was the weirdest conversation ever. The guy is usually argumentative and tries to disprove every bit of feedback. But this time he just sat there and asked no questions and said nothing.
Maybe he’s looking for new jobs already - don’t mind this at all and this would be a good outcome for him overall.

Looking for a job in PMO role please help

I've gotten feedback that I'm too honest in my interviews, is that really a con for future employers? 🫤 How do I refrain from doing that anymore?

I’m moving to the DC area for a new job and wanted to see if anyone had suggestions on where to live in DC (neighborhoods and apartment buildings if possible). I’m thinking Adams Morgan or Logan circle, but open to suggestions. I’m a female in my late 20s, enjoy going out for a few drinks / dinner, working out, hiking etc. Budget is less than $2k per month and I’ll have to commute to Amazon in Crystal City ~3 days per week.

I am sure it’s been asked 100 times but humor me please. Best office chair to add to the good I’m doing with a stand up desk? Lol.

Would love to stay in a reasonable range if possible (800 max)

I've submitted my latest paper to the largest journal in my field, but it's taking forever for them to review it. I feel like they're just stalling me because they don't want to publish it. But if they don't publish it, then who will? And what happens if someone else finds out about my findings before they're published?

I’m recently finished my PhD and the transition to full time work has been overwhelming. How was the transition for you?

What is one of the most frustrating parts of being a scientist or researcher?

I'll tell you what it is: referencing!

You have to do so much of it, and it's so annoying. You have to cite your sources, but there are so many different formats for citations! And then sometimes you don't even know how to cite something, and how are you supposed to know that unless you ask someone who knows? And even then, they might not be sure whether it should be an in-text citation or a footnote…

What is your stance on remote work and productivity?

What are some of your favorite science podcasts to listen to?

After your PhD, did you take time to do something completely different to give yourself a break? The stress of the past few years has made working in a cafe look surprisingly appealing.

Is Einstein’s genius blown out of proportion in popular media or was his work as revolutionary as it gets praise for?

Hey all, having issues with interviewing this year. I’ve been passed over every opportunity I really want and I’m unsure how to regroup and move forward. I’m really trying to break into method development roles and I haven’t had the opportunity to do so with my analytical experience. A lot of my HPLC and LCMS experience is with already established methods. Any tips?

Need help settling a debate with my friend. She thinks I will have an easier time getting research grants because I'm male. I think it's the opposite because companies are trying to change the status quo and get more women involved (which I'm not complaining about... please don't attack me.) Which one of us is more right than the other? I'm interested in getting as many viewpoints as possible, whether or not they agree with me or with her. Thanks!!!

Science & Democracy... Thoughts?

I currently work at a large research institution and am in the process of getting retroactively reclassified to a new title (Long story but my PI is cheap and routinely pays ppl the bare minimum so now the Union is helping me w/ a retro reclass.) Reclass can take 2 - 6 months to process. Meanwhile, I am interviewing for industry job. If I get an industry job, what do I do if my reclass isn’t processed yet? I want the title and the money owed which may be about $15000- 20000.

Is there a scientific reason why we get songs stuck in our heads? How come we don’t really experience this kind of thing with our other senses?

I have an interview for a technical writer position in the chemistry field. Coming from a lab based chemistry role I'm use to getting technical questions about my lab experience. With this role I'm interviewing for being office based, I'm not sure what questions they may ask. What interview questions can I expect for a technical writing position?
