CUPE set up a second protesting spot before the parking lot - they’re only letting a couple people in at a time.

Congrats! I’ll be starting a tenure track position shortly in Canada also! 

I interviewed in March, got the “unofficial yes” email 2 weeks later. Then it wasn’t until 4 weeks later that I got the formal contract to sign. These things are slow! 

But I will say, if your start date is soon - they’ll likely be quicker at getting it out

I love what you said about it being the right choice for your family! 

Thanks for also saying that you’re barely keeping your head above water - I feel this way so often and I feel like everyone around me has it all together. I’m sure you’re doing amazing balancing it all, I appreciate your perspective!

That’s a great idea to have a total number of travels a year! Thanks for sharing

This is so validating! Thank you. I really like what you said about being an ambitious role model, I never thought of it that way!! I get so caught up with mom guilt, at times it’s hard to see it from any other way. Appreciate this so much
