My flight to SD for #assa2020 is delayed, kinda like my earning years since I don't have a job offer yet.

Driveway salt is in high demand due to ice-stickiness. Walmart sold out of it because of price-stickiness. #econ #shortage #mybesttweet

I haven't received a fly out yet. But my fly was down during my entire TA session today. Same thing? #econtwitter

A day full of interviews... for some people. Not me. I had one. #ASSA2019

That's not rain. It's JMCs tears. #ASSA2019

Tip: Get as much free swag from the exhibit hall as possible. That way, if you don't get a fly out, you'll at least have 14 tote bags to carry your disappointment in. #ASSA2019

Let's be honest, econ graduate school is basically 5-6 years of the #BirdBoxChallenge

Twitter just congratulated me on reaching 100 followers which, ironically, is the same number of interviews I didn't get this year. #ASSA2019

It's ok to do this if you are broke, since we all believe in Consumption Smoothies for breakfast. I'll here all week, folks. #ASSA2019
My #1 piece of advice for job market candidates: Order room service for breakfast. It’s worth the extra $ to skip the super long Sbux line (& associated stress) in the a.m. Place your order the night before. Trust me. #ASSA2019 Good luck & have fun!

I told my mom I'd be interviewing in hotel rooms all weekend and I'm pretty sure she now thinks I'm a sex worker. She said, "I support your life choices" #ASSA2019

This is how job market cabdidates should prepare. @EconCandidate teapaw.org/NBCNews/status/1004765…
JUST IN: President Trump on his preparation for upcoming summit with Kim Jong Un: "I think I'm very well prepared. I don’t think I have to prepare very much. It’s about attitude.”
I got a teaching gig this summer. Which is great. Not because I like to teach but because I like to procrastinate my research.

Yeah. That's what I want to do right now. Work more on this research project that a) someone else already has done with better data and b) I hate with all my heart. teapaw.org/jayvanbavel/status/980…
My advisor wants me to present at the department seminar next week whereas I, personally, want to get hit by a semi truck this week.
