      finishing the PhD

      Thank you but I'm not quite there. I'm 6ish months away (abd as of a few months ago) per my committee's timeline and I've already started a job in industry, so it's already gotten much greener. But yeah getting to this point has been a struggle and moving from academic lab work to essentially the same thing but in an industry where people go home at the end of the day instead of sometimes not at all has reduced my depression symptoms to their lightest since 2017!

          Thank you!

          All I have to do is teach the shit out of these kids.

          That is so cool and it sounds so much more rewarding than writing a paper that maybe 25 people read if the author's lucky.
