@EveHarrington Apology accepted, thank you. I must say my message was written very late at night, while very tired, so it was also not representative of how I normally write messages. Apart from that the whole message made no sense in any case. Let's just forget about it ok.
I do not appreciate your post, please refrain from this type of ridicule like tone with me. I know peanut butter was a silly example, still highly frustrating to me, and only a sketch to how much is behind in this country.
Standard of living is quite high, medical system and care is very good, high efficiency, but ohhh so boring, so traditional, so behind, everything so expensive. Peanut butter, wow maybe one store that has one little tiny jar of it. It is noticeable not part of the EU, because it has isolated...

I recognise this so much.
And I like to think what people say when you are having a hard time: they will say that is really...
Could you write it down at home and take with you? Email it? Can you say it out loud at home and record with phone? Are you a crafty person and make a painting/drawing about it? Is there something you really like to do and can focus on and at the same time speak about it? If there is so much...
Very interesting. I agree from own experience. In case of job applications I believe I should never mention two things with regard to CV gap and that is brain surgery and ptsd. If it was knee surgery I would not hesitate to mention it, but brain surgery makes people doubt if everything is really...
LOL :roflmao: old p-doc should retire
