That would be called vacation time vs sick time in my org, but there are definitely differences in when/how they’re used.
Sick time is like, “I don’t feel good today, I’m just not working today.”
Vacation time is like, “I’m feeling pretty good today, I’d like to take a feel-good day. But I better schedule schedule it a couple weeks out, check with my manager, make sure there are no deadlines coming up, make sure someone else can cover for me,” and so on.
Does it need to be online and continuous?
Hot take of the day: academia doesn’t need social media.
“Have you thought about a postdoc? Well how about second postdoc?”
I casually bicycle around town and like to see who I can keep up with to test how fast I am. More and more folks have ebikes now and it’s getting way less fun.
I encourage others to seek treatment for mental health issues if ever necessary, and I’ve heard a few success stories of people who got the help they needed from a psychiatric inpatient stay. But I’ll be honest, shit like this really worries me.
I’ve been living with depression for many years now. It terrifies me to imagine what a full-blown crisis would be like – not just because of what I might do, but also because of what the health care system might do to me.
Damn it, I did too. Reality is once again converging on parody.
This thread surprises me. Excel is fine, but I’ve seen people do so many silly things with it that it makes me dread having to use it. It’s like they treat every cell as its own special little canvas… Oh, you wanna randomly change the date format from mm/dd/yyyy to dd-Mmm-yy mid-column? With Excel, anything is possible.
Maybe I just don’t work well with others.

I feel this. People often recommend an animal companion for me, and I always worry it would just add to daily stress.
Hey… This is Moe Szyslak’s enemies list! They just deleted his name and put Nixon’s!
We’re already using that on the org chart.

I prefer a gender-phrase, a complex sequence of words that’s easier to remember and more secure than a single gender-word.
For example, contrast “female” with “do all the guys you know wear dresses and makeup like this?”
Unhelpful idea: practice as-is until you’re good enough to beat it in one sitting
H0, H1, and Hbruh
That’s the face I make when an experiment that should only have 2 possible outcomes somehow leads to a completely uninterpretable third outcome.
The 19 words: “…because democracy basically meaningless…” (pause) “Government by the people, of the people, for the people… but the people are [fools].”
I’m inserting “fools” cuz I don’t wanna use outdated insults.
