free tix for pint of science at the burrow tonight

hello my period decided to wreck me and now i don't wanna leave my bed, and thus i can't go to a pint of science talk at the burrow. more info here: https://pintofscience.com.au/event/the-heat-is-on-what-warms-what-survives-and-how-we-know/

kinda sucks because i really wanted to go since the topic is relevant to my PhD and the event itself sounds interesting.

instead of letting it go to waste, does anyone want my ticket? it's for tonight, starts at 6:30 pm

pm me if interested, thanks

so i'm working on a paper with a prof who isn't in my area of research, but not too far that it doesn't make sense for me to help them. i'm also doing TA work for them

they are very intimidating but not like, 'evil'...yet they scare the shit out of me

so i sent them my draft for the lit review section of a paper, and i found out on my way to uni that they have made substantial edits (they said so in the email) and basically rewrote everything

i feel so bad bc i dont think it was that bad, like when something is bad i would have a feeling that it is. now i worry they think i'm an idiot and made a mistake hiring me to be their RA

i also made a mistake in my TA work with them, and i made the impression that i didn't know the course requirement when i asked them if a student could do a make-up test

all in all, it has been a horrible start to my morning and i want to sink inside a hole
