Life Update: New Job Title and Depression Status

Justine Let's get personal

Wow! It’s been a hectic semester for me. I have a ton of things I want to write about and have fallen behind on my blog. Oh well – life happens. The good news is that the things that have made the semester hectic are generally good things. I’m feeling really lucky with how wonderful my life is right now. I’m a bit overloaded with work (in exchange for a light spring semester), but other than that, there is absolutely nothing I can complain about. So with that, on to my life update.

Life Update – I’m Employed Full-Time Again (and have been for almost a year)

It’s been WAY too long since I’ve written a life update. I’ve been meaning to for a while, but every time I think about it I decide it’s not interesting enough. However, today I decided that’s stupid. I don’t really care if it’s boring. So here we go: an update on what I’m doing for work and how I’m doing with my depression.

Yesterday I made a decision that might have cost me millions of dollars. I don’t say that lightly; I was offered the opportunity to work with renowned scientists on something that has already received millions in grant funding and is already protected by a patent. Nothing in the business world is ever a sure thing, but this concept certainly has legs, to say the least.

Life update – it’s been 3 months since I quit my job

It’s been about 3 months since I quit my job. In that time, I’ve essentially pushed a reset button for my life. I’m remembering all the little things that give me joy, accepting and embracing all of my many quirks, and letting go of external pressures and expectations. And I’m enjoying every bit of it.

A bit of disappointing news, and why it’s not bothering me that much

Hello friends! Glad those of you who prefer introspective content are still reading despite my rather glib posts lately. Actually, I’ve been planning this post for a couple of weeks, with the intention of writing something a bit more serious and personal – it’s just that serious posts take longer to write! But something happened yesterday that has made me want to write. So here we go.
