I do not want to be at work at all today and my cODE WILL JUST NOT WORK EVEN THOUGH I SWEAR IT WAS WORKING LAST WEEK.
ETA: also sorry, I started this to be a little more lighthearted than the other thread. I appreciate @Testament’s thread! I just thought we could use both.

vertigo
that’s it, that’s the whole peeve

Yesterday, I drove for two hours for work to observe a one-hour class…which was canceled on account of tornados, so I had to drive two hours back in rain and storm.
My peeve is weather!

My son tested positive for COVID this morning. So far we’re all fine, but ugh.
-
@Meg I wholly agree with a thread that is not the emotional gauntlet that the one I created was.
-
I think there’s peeves and then there’s…weightier stuff. STRUGGLES. I have all the “that’s rough, buddy” for both.
Also, this is all very rough, buddies.

@Snackness Hope the tiny tyke is ok! Though I guess not so tiny.
-
@Narson He’s 8! I can’t get over it.
He’s totally fine right now. Who knows what tomorrow will bring but he’s vaxxed and kids his age usually bounce back pretty quickly if they do get symptoms.

The entire Higher Education sector economy.

The entire Higher Education sector economy.
God, I want to burn academia to the ground. My thesis advisor was recently accused by a colleague of creating an “unlivable environment” with her “indifference to academicians,” and she was quietly upset but I was in the background like yeah that’s… why I chose you…
-
@helvetica I had a great main supervisor. Have also been called ‘the worst PhD student they’ve ever seen’ by another academic who was having a bad day. The economy is just becoming more and more exploitative, and forcing good people to do bad things. And the wider economy of HE is getting to that stage where departments have to just hold on and hope. And the last department alive will get to keep their jobs in their part of the market. And take on crippling workloads. It’s like musical chairs with sadists, but with people’s jobs being on the line.

RL peeve, it was colder this morning and my joints ached. 3 months away from 40 and I feel like I’m falling apart. Though I guess the good news is that my favorite sports press conference of all time becomes more relevant for me on a personal level.

@Narson a) Fuck whoever said that. b) The biggest joke of the student debt crisis is like… where that money goes. Our deputy department head has to moonlight at a fucking eyeglasses boutique.
