Feeling like a bit of a failure at moment as off ill from work, and made the mistake of reading about the shining successes of a couple of former colleagues / fellow students which didn't help much. Stupid I know - should be thinking 'good for them' rather than 'I'm crap and worthless', but anyway, your post helped, so cheers! And yes, it would be nice if plodding away doing something worthwhile was valued more than forever competitively chasing big money / funding, big themes / buzzwords and big prizes. I suppose the truly important stuff is usually thankless (publicly at least).Dannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6153845628469776909.post-88663948842830388062016-03-21T03:24:08.662+00:002016-03-21T03:24:08.662+00:00Just in time.

Tomorrow the person trying to help me navigate through the mess our medical system is in will call to say she's accomplished a miracle or that the break point is exactly where we thought it was. Both work though I think the second option has more potential--not for our being right, but because we can try again in a different order. Anyway, with miracles it's never clear if being nice mattered.
