As both an accademic [sic] and a struggling genius,
I say leave it to the professionals who will all sit around and talk pretentiously about things we have never experienced first hand, thus displaying how pompous yet insecure we actually are about our very existence.

I prefer to think of myself
as a genius and a struggling academic.

I prefer to think that in 58 days time I'll hopefully be off work for 43 weeks
(or less, if the money runs out sooner).
I gave up on being a career academic looooong ago.

I've got 22 days left of my current contract
But I'm not pregnant. Therefore I have a bit of a problem. I have a series of meetings lined up for tomorrow!

Good luck.
But at least you're a scientist, eh? Go STEM subjects!

Thanks.
And on that note, I'd better go and do some sciency stuff, instead of fannying around here!
