My old boss gave me a load of shit for writing down tasks that I had to do. He just couldn't comprehend that it wouldn't stick if it wasn't written down.

He took my book from me, and then asked me to do a bunch of complicated stuff each with its own deadline.

He then got annoyed when I didn't do the stuff because I hadn't written it down because he took my book.

He got sacked, I got promoted.

Someone once asked if I thought I was even good enough to have imposter syndrome and my brain imploded that day.

You must have misread, I'm no expert - just a biologist who tried to make an educated decision on when to spay my lab. Happy to cite sources though - looking again, the study I found most robust is longitudinal rather than Cochrane but had a very large data set which was my interest.

This for example helped me to decide to leave my spay until after 11 months.

Feel free to share yours, it's been a couple of years since I dug through research pieces, sharing information and forming educated opinions is key for good science.

I don't, I've considered it but I tend to complete over a couple of weeks and not too sure how to do it.

It sure did, I've completed 4 of this specific design now, and getting a bit quicker each time.

Typically, it's between 24 and 48 hours to do, but regular breaks are needed because it's easy to bruise your fingertips 😵‍💫

I'd love to see the studies if you have some links. My opinion was formed on a Cochrane analysis of several longitudinal studies for cancer specifically in bitches by breed, so anything I can add to my research would be appreciated.

I am, great memory!! This is the piece I'm most proud of, so I show it off at every opportunity. LauraLadybugDesigns on Etsy 🐞

The problem about selling only neutered dogs is that larger breeds (labradors, Newfoundland's, boxers) need to hit maturity before being fixed to ensure proper growth and prevent future health issues. This can be up to 3 years.

Definitely not feasible when a bitch has a litter of 10 puppies that need to be kept for 3 years before being sold to their new homes.

I've done this too. Someone who was not outputting the same amount of work as their colleagues, or when they did it was simple stuff with no real innovative features. The bare minimum.

Pulled logs off their machine, and they spent 4 hours on Google maps (they're also a taxi driver after hours) and messing about on PayPal for another few hours (they also did some consultancy).

There was around 37 minutes of work done that day.

They were no longer burdened with this job which seemed to interfere with their other evening/weekend jobs.

I just use my teeth and it horrifys anyone I'm with..

Jokes on them though, because I'm the one with an open beer.

You can get as good as that as standard in the UK.

I get 36 days PTO, the legal minimum is 28 days. 25% bonus. Pension contribution, I pay 4%, company pays 8%. Health insurance included, but the NHS will cover most stuff.

This isn't even a senior level position, it's bottom level. Seniors get way more.
