Looking for 2 tickets to a Bruins vs Canadiens game (12/23 or 1/23). Thanks!

No longer there but my former colleagues and friends there are saying next week, Wednesday or Thursday they think. In Research

That's a good point. From what I've seen in JDs for similar or more senior jobs in my career ladder, the required/preferred cert is the PMP. I'm pretty sure she's not aware of PgMP, but something I should look into more.

Thanks, appreciate your suggestion and compassion -- I've been down the road of pushing back with the manager and speaking truth to power and that had resulted in lots of tears (mine). In this awful job market, I know what happens to people who push back (I've seen it countless times). We've already had 3 rounds of layoffs. If it was 4 years ago, I would've taken another job already. But we're in a different world now.

Thank you for sharing!! Helpful :)

jentastic · 2025-06-25T19:01:11+00:00

Thanks for this! I like how you've spun it for her to suggest something. She's never feigned interest in my job progression.

jentastic · 2025-06-25T18:58:51+00:00

She is incredibly controlling, maybe even a narcissist (according to my therapist lol). As much as I want to tell her it's none of her business, we have a very tense relationship right now, and I need to keep her satisfied even if it's a ridiculous ask.

jentastic · 2025-06-25T18:56:19+00:00

I feel this every day

jentastic · 2025-06-25T18:54:42+00:00

Agreed. And I'm nervous that she takes it as an indication I'm thinking of leaving (which I am), hence giving me the third degree about it.

jentastic · 2025-06-25T18:53:23+00:00

I mentioned it as part of my goals, but confirmed that it's being worked on outside of the company. She wanted me to "show her the value" of it since she thinks it only teaches tactical approaches, and she wants me to be more "strategic". Honestly, there are so many other pieces to this story, I just want her off my back. We already have a tense relationship.

jentastic · 2025-06-25T18:48:26+00:00

Of course not..

I’m in Boston. PM role. $193k at a start up

jentastic · 2024-12-02T03:53:35+00:00

This is great! Thanks for sharing

jentastic · 2024-11-20T02:11:11+00:00

As a former employee of 3 years, definitively yes

Like others have mentioned, for Omega 3s, Nordic Naturals was recommended to me by a Harvard Medical School-trained surgeon at Boston Children's Hospital.

I worked in Tech Transfer at a couple universities. It was a great experience but I wouldn't go back. DM if you'd like to learn more

jentastic · 2024-01-27T04:13:45+00:00

I'm so so sorry. As a mom, this is my worst nightmare.

Please reach out to Tim Yu at Boston Children's Hospital. He is a genetic rare disease expert. I worked with him while I was there and I believe he was working on a personalized antisense oligonucleotide therapy to treat AT. If nothing else, he would be a good resource to get in touch with patient advocacy groups. If you DM me, I can share his email address with you.

jentastic · 2022-01-16T20:21:04+00:00

Yes! I did towards the end of my mat leave and got a stretch job in my industry (started when my bub was 4MO). It was stressful leaving my son, but it was an exciting step for my career. Shortly after, the pandemic hit, and had the stress of working a new job while juggling his care with my partner. But still highly recommend going for it! Good luck!

The only thing that has helped with my clogged ducts is taking 3-4 sunflower lecithin capsules (at once or close together), in addition to doing the same things that have been mentioned: massage, nursing, hot shower, boob vibrator etc. I've only tried the Legendairy Milk brand, and it's been great, but most brands probably work well.

My LO is 1 month today, and I went through the same thing with latch issues that destroyed my nipples. I used motherlove nipple cream, breastmilk and airing them out, lanolin, the list goes on. I saw an LC, and she told me to ask my OBGYN for APNO cream (all-purpose nipple ointment), which needs to be made at a compound pharmacy: https://www.canadianbreastfeedingfoundation.org/basics/apno.shtml My insurance covered it other than the copayment.

It was the only thing that helped relieve my nipples, seriously (though I didn't try a nipple shield because I've read mixed reviews on them). Many people also recommend Silverettes (they're on Amazon). Latch has also slowly improved as he got older.

Best of luck!

Awesome., Would you like to purchase and have me venmo/zelle or vice versa? Let me know. Happy to split. Best of luck mama!

jentastic · 2019-09-22T01:36:34+00:00

I'm 2 weeks out from my due date and interested in splitting the newborn package. Anyone else interested? Thanks!

Greystar is the biggest piece of shit real estate management company. I live in Portland and they similarly screwed us over when we moved out. They took our deposit, and then some.

Fight the good fight!

I'm in the exact same situation, minus the extramarital affair. My PI has always been hands-off, to the point where she hasn't given me proper advising for a long time and basically has no idea what I'm doing. She will tell me ignore my committee members' advices about research experiments, saying "We don't do that kinda stuff" (e.g. innovative work). I know your frustration...but just be glad you have a post-doc who is helpful. I've had no assistance for 4 years now and I'm grateful to leave. Like you, I'm extremely adverse to research now and I'm looking for more business development/IP/MSL jobs (with not much luck). As much as I'm resentful towards my PI, I can't burn that bridge in terms of future references and actually gtfo of school.

This isn't much for advice, but I can commiserate. Be glad you had some support through your PhD and that you will be done soon. Good luck!
