Flying through the personal tags this week whoopsie. But does anyone have any experience with phonophobia? Im terrified of loud sounds which comes in handy as a scientist let me tell you, but I’ve just had to walk out of a conference because they’re planning a fire drill in the next hour so my entire body just shut down and now I’m sitting on a bench feeling remarkably better. But yeah what I’m tryna work out is how to essentially cure myself or lessen the fear as it’s a bit embarrassing and I don’t think anyone understands. Like imagine being scared of sound. Spiders, snakes, heights are all fine for me but loud sounds, nah.
Been having a bit of a career slump since beginning of this year where I just don't really care anymore? I guess that's the nature of most jobs but I feel absolutely nothing when I'm praised or the opposite. Not entirely happy with the workplace either (just really don't fit in and live hours away from friends and family) but I can't just get up and resign without messing up my whole career whoopsie. And then today I was thinking, but what would I do if it wasn't this academic hellhole, and my brain was like 'be a backing singer for Kylie Minogue' and oh well, guess I'm stuck here for the foreseeable future.
as a generally curious person, the one question that's always burning at the back of my mind is: how do my mutuals look?? so because tumblr is the Great Anonymous Basement of the internet and we're obviously not posting selfies, I'm asking you all (very very nicely) to reblog this and tell me what you look like in the tags!!
