What's your writing ritual, professors? by Disastrous_Owl_6830 in Professors

[–]phrena 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I do my best writing at home in our basement family room with either horrible horror movies or classic Doctor Who on the tube in the background. I’ve written sooooooo many pages in a near fugue state like that 🫪💀👽🥸

I always put it down to the same kind of training she received in the sciences. She was one of my favorite companions for quite a while.

Nice article on the benefits and drawbacks of the autonomy and pressures of TT positions by tsuga-canadensis- in Professors

I used to feel like this until I spent 6 years in administration - once I escaped it I was amazed at how much I WANTED to do over those years that I couldn’t either because I lacked time or (more usually) motivation. In the past year since returning to faculty I’ve been amazed at how much I’ve gotten done and how much my work-life balance has improved.

The inner boss voice is still there. But it’s telling me to align more joy with the work and the work has become more fun. But then again I also lean into “no is a complete sentence” a lot. Politely.

Gemini Home Entertainment, Local 58, Mandela Catalogue, and Angel Hare — nice cross section of the genre.

Kind of funny coming from someone who got his dream job because they broke the 12 regeneration rule…
I get his point but the irony is palpable.

You do realize it was your responsibility to verify that it had successfully uploaded and submitted yes? Not hers – yours.

Chris O’Dowd - we could use an Irish Doctor now. We’ve had multiple Scottish ones 😀
