Handing over.
I tidied up my dataset and did some analyses earlier this afternoon. It's been a long time since I've touched that dataset. And after I'm done summarizing things up, I sent an email to my friend over at the hospital, handing things over to her.
Clicking the "send" button feels weird though. After 2 years, finally, the study will not be my primary responsibility. I know they'll still bug me for this and that after today, but to me, today's email marks a fresh new start. I wrote in the email that I'm leaving clinical research for quite a while, and I really do want to leave all the burden behind before I move on to a new job. I know it's unlikely, especially when people are still bugging me to write papers etc. I'm honestly irritated and annoyed by how the academic/research system functions. So, I'm glad I made the decision to leave for now.
Btw I'm still annoyed to receive emails from my ex-boss. Seeing her name at the sender's column irritates me. She's emailing me because she says she needs my help to write and edit a paper. Honestly, I can't be bothered. Because, I already told her before I took on the project that I will be leaving and I have NO TIME to work on it after I leave. I don't like working with her or for her at all. Going to ignore her for now. I really have better things to do
