Jenny Spencer @thejennyspencer.bsky.social · 17/12/2024Jenny Data part 2: Travel locations this year included 12 states in the US + 2 countries (not counting a few hour layover in Rome) for a total of 22 different places. (Map: Orange= work; Purple= fun) 000
Jenny Spencer @thejennyspencer.bsky.social · 17/12/2024Jenny Data Part 1: My travel this year was about the same as last year - a total of 102 nights away from Austin (vs. 105 last year and 92 in 2022). That's 28% of my time spent traveling - just under half of that was travels by car (including now) with Pearl 🐶 along for the ride. 000
Jenny Spencer @thejennyspencer.bsky.social · 05/02/2024"The reward is the work...", she whispers to herself as she googles "r ggplot change axis ticks" for the fourth time today. 020
Jenny Spencer @thejennyspencer.bsky.social · 02/01/2024"Thanks for inviting me on this project. Quick thing - All this math is wrong. I don't know what you did yet, so I can't tell you what's wrong about it. But my whole body knows it's definitely wrong, and I have a PhD, so you have to just trust me and we have to redo all of it." -Me, today. 020
Jenny Spencer @thejennyspencer.bsky.social · 23/11/2023Will any company or organization that I have interacted with even slightly this year think to send an email today informing me that the thing *they*, in fact, are grateful for today... is *me*? Gee I hope so. 040
Jenny Spencer @thejennyspencer.bsky.social · 08/11/2023Another day reflecting on the huge portion of my job that is writing letters from ~other people~ to tell ~some third set of people~ how good I am at my job so that those people will pay for me to keep doing my job and or give me awards that the ~first other people~ can write about in more letters. 010
Jenny Spencer @thejennyspencer.bsky.social · 23/10/2023The Lusted pitches remain one of my favorite parts of #SMDM23. Funny and creative and interesting. Great job to all the nominees! 050
Jenny Spencer @thejennyspencer.bsky.social · 17/10/2023How could I be so silly, of course half these files are in a Dropbox folder and half of them are in a Sharepoint account I have through the University of Sydney. 🤦🏻♀️ 020
Jenny Spencer @thejennyspencer.bsky.social · 17/10/2023I like working across multiple collaborative projects but it's worth saying that like 90% of my time is figuring out whether the stupid files are in Box, Dropbox (if so, is it UT or Harvard), or Sharepoint (if so, it is UT or UNC)? 220
Jenny Spencer @thejennyspencer.bsky.social · 21/09/2023Various administrative folks in the University keep asking me about my funding - which feels the same way as telling the US government each year how much you paid in taxes. Don't *you* handle all this in the first place? 040
