Wiping the door knobs and lights switches! You gotta do it otherwise they get all grotty.

I'm older than most of the Matilda's and I still want to be them when I grow up 🥲

There's still the 3rd place playoffs!

I think I'll talk to my GP. He's been a bit worried about my blood pressure. 😳

Work has me anxious. I hate my office but I need to stick it out whilst I look for a new job.

Today I went in and actually felt very faint... I'm a bit worried. Low level panic attack or something else? I took the afternoon off...

That helps too 🤣 but this was the first Matilda's game I watched.

What an amazing game.

I'm not really much of a sport watcher. But I've found myself following the Matilda's this world cup - I think it's the fact we're hosting and they're a home team.

So tense! Helps that soccer is pretty easy for a newbie to follow.

This sounds excellent! I don't have a food processor plus this saves cleaning one thing.

So did you do the choc ripple bikkies instead of blitzing the generic. choc biscuits and mixing with melted butter?

Slept so terribly last night. Woke up multiple times, couldn't get comfy. So strange! I went to sleep so comfy...

No worries. I'm currently a PhD student.

I haven't really broken into the field. I do write but don't consider it a strength, I do consider my verbal communication skills to be my strength.

I've just seen enough from the PhD students around me who are all struggling. We don't see much hope in terms of employment. There are many generations of Masters/PhD students ahead of you who have just graduated and are looking for roles.

Not to say you shouldn't do it, just know that it isn't a guarantee that it'll help you stand out. But you will gain new skills (hopefully) which could help you find a job.

I've seen some more technical roles come up where having a PhD would maybe make people consider you overqualified.

I quite enjoyed this article. Well written by the author, and they spoke to academics and indigenous people. Great to get the perspective from both. I'm intrigued by yams now....
