Microbiologist XX: Yep, it's been that kind of day.
http://microbiologistxx.blogspot.com/2011/02/yep-its-been-that-kind-of-day.html
Ramblings of a female microbiologist. Tuesday, February 1, 2011. Yep, it's been that kind of day. I started the day off well enough. I woke up on time, I made myself some coffee (bonus) so that I wouldn't need to stop on the way. I get in the car and proceed to work, quite proud of the $1.50 I am saving. However, about 30 seconds later, the universe decided that today, I would provide it with comic relief or something. Not the good kind). 2 My boob is really wet and warm. Several labor-intensive sips lat...

Microbiologist XX: Friday Funny: F**k you and your f**cking cheeseburger
http://microbiologistxx.blogspot.com/2011/01/friday-funny-fk-you-and-your-fcking.html
Ramblings of a female microbiologist. Thursday, January 20, 2011. Friday Funny: F* k you and your f* cking cheeseburger. I don't know if I've mentioned this before or not, but I am from Texas. Although I don't share many of the opinions and views expressed by the inhabitants of my home state, I do love the Texas fast food burger joint know as Whataburger. When I was little I thought it was water burger). Like any establishment open 24h, drunk idiots tend to congregate at Whataburger. I am a post-doctoral...

Life as I know it...: June 2009
http://jennphd.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Life as I know it. Monday, June 29, 2009. Well, like the title says, nothing works! Tuesday, June 23, 2009. I'm not one of them anymore? Or just an innocent curiosity about pregnancy? I'm trying hard to make an effort NOT to bring it up myself because I don't want to be one of those women who can only talk about babies when they're pregnant. Of course it is an important part of my life now, but it's not the only part (or is it? Most days I'd just rather go back to being "one of the guys". Careers advice ...

Life as I know it...: March 2011
http://jennphd.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Life as I know it. Wednesday, March 9, 2011. Sent out a few more in the last 2 days, including one for a sales position I never would have considered, but found somehow strangely attractive yesterday. Also contacted a life science recruiting firm to try to make an appointment to meet with one of their recruiters so they can get to know me personally. Also signed up with another recruiting agency that I found out hires for a big pharma in the region. Will anything actually work out? Saturday, March 5, 2011.

Life as I know it...: Soooo.....
http://jennphd.blogspot.com/2011/06/soooo.html
Life as I know it. Tuesday, June 14, 2011. Has it really been nearly 2 months again? I admit, I have been avoiding this blog at all costs. Rather ashamed at my lack of progress in the job-finding department, rather annoyed at myself for the total lack of motivation I've been experiencing, rather ticked off at life's pace and the bumps along the way, I'd chosen to just pretend it didn't exist. In the last 2 months I have applied (and been turned down, again) for multiple positions. I also had 2 interviews.

Life as I know it...: February 2010
http://jennphd.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Life as I know it. Sunday, February 14, 2010. Wow, February already huh? So, why am I so doubtful about the whole postdoc experience? Besides the work/family balance, the huge open "can we even think of making this work financially? And "do I even want to move to another not home country AGAIN and start over my whole village AGAIN? But the price we paid was our confidence, and our enthusiasm. Friend tells me that the worst reason to NOT do something is because you're afraid it won't work out. I think...

Life as I know it...: Not even the right kind of immigrant...
http://jennphd.blogspot.com/2011/02/not-even-right-kind-of-immigrant.html
Life as I know it. Tuesday, February 22, 2011. Not even the right kind of immigrant. Yup, finally heard back from the mentoring program to help immigrants integrate into the work force in NewCountry. And I'm not the right kind of immigrant, so they can't help me. What's one more? I haven't posted in a while cause I've been under the weather. Have this strange headache and dizzy all the time thing going on. Guess this is my initiation point into NewCountry's medical system? February 22, 2011 at 9:29 AM.
