DasPerhaps I'll get an hr shuteye on the flight - haven't had any coffee yet. Hopefully I can make it through the all day + evening proceedings at the conference I'm headed to.<a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/ProfLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ProfLife</a>

Dr. FerrousMonday. My calendar is booked for 5.5 hours of zoom meetings and one is 4.5 hrs long. I am resisting going up to my home office because I know the torture will begin soon. <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/ProfLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ProfLife</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Summer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Summer</a>

Getzler Lab at KenyonCollegeI heard peals of laughter spilling out of the lab Friday afternoon. The students were really enjoying getting soap bubbles to fill with mist from subliming dry ice, left over from the -78 bath for the Swern. I love that they are already having so much fun together. That’s already a huge win for me as a mentor. <a href="https://mstdn.science/tags/proflife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#proflife</a> <a href="https://mstdn.science/tags/PUI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PUI</a> <a href="https://mstdn.science/tags/chemistry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#chemistry</a> <a href="https://mstdn.science/tags/research" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#research</a> <a href="https://mstdn.science/tags/lablife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lablife</a> <a href="https://mstdn.science/tags/SummerScience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SummerScience</a>

DasApparently it's Faculty Appreciation week. Idk if my students made that up but 😭 they gave me a card with heartwarming notes and also a cake! (That we all ate) <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Grateful" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Grateful</a> 🙏🏽 <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/ProfLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ProfLife</a>

Dr. FerrousI want to read the professor version of this article. I was glue for my team for 5 years before asking for a stipend and taking on the Interim Director. I shouldn’t have waited so long. <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/ProfLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ProfLife</a> Being Glue — No Idea Blog <a href="https://www.noidea.dog/glue" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.noidea.dog/glue</a>

Dr. FerrousWe got an email today from my university president’s office. The subject line included “DEI”. Being someone who deeply cares about these ideas, I left the message unread. I just didn’t have the energy today for whatever words were there.<a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/ProfLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ProfLife</a>

Dr. FerrousThis week, I unfortunately had to refer a student to the Academic Standards committee for what appears to be plagiarism on a lab report. I recommended a 0 on the assignment. I was copied on the referral letter to the student this afternoon and was surprised to see the recommended sanction is failure of the course. There’s a new matrix for sanctions and they are severe. I did the right thing by the policy, but i really don’t want my student to suffer. Trying (unsuccessfully) to let go. <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/ProfLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ProfLife</a>

Dr. FerrousTwo students cried in my office today. One has accommodations for ADHD and feels bad about asking to use them. The other overslept this morning and came to apologize. They are both wonderful students and I tried my best to reassure them. I also said however they were feeling is understandable because everything is on fire. Nothing is normal. I need a new box of tissues for my office. <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/ProfLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ProfLife</a>

Dr. FerrousOmg, it’s finally Friday and TOMORROW I GET THE DAY OFF. <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/ProfLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ProfLife</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/WorkWorkWork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WorkWorkWork</a>

Dr. FerrousEarly morning change of plans. University is closing at 2pm so lab is cancelled. But our morning experiments can still run, so I’m looking forward to trying a vegan ricotta recipe and making some more beans. <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/ChemistryInTheKitchen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ChemistryInTheKitchen</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/ProfLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ProfLife</a>

Dr. FerrousFriday. This afternoon/evening and tomorrow are the state qualifying tournament for women’s wrestling. M is right at her goal weight but is likely going to be fasting all day today to stay there for the 4pm weigh ins. I officially hate this sport and its obsession with data on a fucking scale. I will also be going with her early and being as positive as possible. Before then, I’m hitting the grocery and should send some emails about that eval I haven’t done yet. <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/MomLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MomLife</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/ProfLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ProfLife</a>

Dr. FerrousI have to write my annual evaluation today. I just don’t want to. Can I just send in my papers and presentations and teaching award letter? Maybe that would be enough. <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/ProfLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ProfLife</a>

B HaasA lot of my work as a professor is what I think of as pastoral care: helping my students navigate and respond to the stuff life throws at them with encouragement, snacks, listening, reminders to take a break, reminders that they're not aloneToday is a pastoral care dayA colleague of mine said in Nov they were sad to have to pull out their 2020 "sorry the world sucks, we're in this together" email again. It wasn't meant to be a template, and yet we need it again and again<a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/ProfLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ProfLife</a>

Dr. FerrousThe semester is a freight train narrowing down the track and I’m frozen in place, which I could stop time. I’m already more stressed than I should be. 😞<a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/ProfLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ProfLife</a>

DasAlarm was for between 6 and 6:30 am, woke up at 5am. First day of class this semester. Too much nervous energy I guess! Oh geez and I'm 50+ - does this never go away?! <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/ProfLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ProfLife</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/AcademicChatter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AcademicChatter</a>

Dr. FerrousAn update on the search committee … I stepped down via email on Thursday 12/19 and went offline. Today, I read the the email reply rom the search committee chair on SATURDAY 12/21 saying she got my message and asked me to not tell the committee until after 1/6. Utterly ridiculous. WTF does she think she is to give me an order via email on a Saturday during break?? I’m glad to be done with this bullshit. Definitely made the right choice. <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/ProfLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ProfLife</a>

Dr. FerrousHello, I’m a bellwether. Nice to meet you. <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/ProfLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ProfLife</a>

Dr. FerrousI was invited to the 2 hour meeting /yesterday/… less than a day’s notice. And it’s the last week of classes. And I have 20 papers to grade. Why do administrators forget that we are insanely busy this time of the semester? <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/ProfLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ProfLife</a>
