How cool is this :) Ive made soda cakes for years but such a cute gift idea!

Nothing is worse for a highly intelligent and gifted person to be under-challenged and underwhelmed....

Today, I came home from work crying because I realised how underchallenged and boring my work currently is. My expertise is currently not being used because customer projects come in slow and don't get to the downstream processing/purification part (I'm a specialist for protein pruification). I don't get many other opportunities to show my skills and knowledge and only do some minor backup tasks like writing working instructions...Nothing about my work currenly feels rewaring and chellengeing. I am a scientist, I love the try and error and the challenge! I thrive in that. I literally work best with stress and being overloaded with work than with being underwhelmed...
On top of it I'm gettin really bad imposter syndrome because of not being able to show my expertise while my colleagues currenlty thrive and get ever opportunity to show their knowledge and expert fields. We got a new teamlead in march and so far I feel like I could not show off/prove my skille and knowledge to him while the others could. I feel like I'm standing in the shadows sometimes even being actively pushed back into them. Like a tool put in a shelf not neede for now collecting dust.
It's incredibly frustrating and deressing for me because I am a scientist by heart I love my profession...

Now my overthinking brain gets even to the point where I'm asking myself if they are boring me out on purpose, so I leave the company on my own accord and they don't have to fire me, because they can't without a reason....
I'm more and more thinking of actually looking for a different posititon... Maybe I'll apply for a pHD after all...

I miss the old days when comedy was funny! Couldn't do this nowadays.

Vampfreaks is a hugbox:

So I checked out vampfreaks.com what can I say its a fucking hugbox, there are like 3 people in total, and its so locked down its not fun. There is a couple things that make a site good, one is banter, a harmless bit of trolling, choas, a search tool to find people with same interests that are local, and DM's to slide into. Not for them reasons you pervs. Get your mind out of the gutter!

From what I can tell its a lazy copy and paste template with some colours, a few logos slapped on and called a day. When people say they are looking a retro VF experience they are looking for a retro VF experence not half assed effort. I have seen projects where people have rebuilt long gone websites as they were in 90s, and early 2000s people are looking for that.

This place is pretty shit also, but it allows for fundermentals mentioned, plus has that old school approtch of self moderation instead of having a site moderation team which kills communities today. Vampfreaks seems like one man has an ego and has turn his project into a fucking hugbox which has killed the project before it begain; bluesky for goth if you will.

Not even 6 AM and already my seat has a sweaty outline; damn do I cut a nice figure! When will this heat wave go away! I woke up at 4 AM and thought I had a roof leak as my bed was sodden. No that was my sweat!
