As you may have noticed, I’ve been a bit fed up recently in the run up to Christmas.
I think people may have thought I was just joking. Well, I was being serious. In fact, I was so serious that I decided to apply for a position as a research officer at the University of Leeds. Well, I got the job and it’s a 12 month contract.
The money’s not as good as I’m used to, but I’m hoping that this hands on role will be very satisfying, as the following job description shows:
Fair play Matthew , you have got me depressed now , you will effectively be being paid by the government for this job , and I pay my taxes and are thus funding this research.
When I need to do my own research on this topic , I have to pay again ……and again……and again ….. and again . So I am effectively being screwed anyway!
Good luck , and put some bromide in your tea ! it might not solve all your problems but it should stop anything unexpected popping up .
Kevin – I’ll miss you guys, but I suppose it’s a job and someone’s go to do it. If you’re in Leeds doing your own research let me know, and we can compare notes.
Mathew, are you sure will have enough time? 12 months and so many interviews, will you need an extension.
Mike – thanks for the concern, but it doesn’t normally take me too long to reach a satisfactory conclusion.
Haha — I can understand the attraction
GOOD LUCK!
Mid life crisis?
Jordan – yes, another mid life crisis. Lol.
Crikey mate I thought you started that contract ages ago!
I suppose it comes to us all, I’m only 29 and I’m having one already. Who’s running the show and who’s going to keep posting on here?
Actually Matthew I have a few years research that you might find useful. Though I might need to provide a review of some of my notes….
Wait for mid life, wife will go ape but may forgive you!
If you need to check the authenticity of any of the sex workers you encounter, I might be able to assist. I’ve got my own pole, it’s a bit rusty, but with a bit of spit and polish it should come up a treat.
What pole would that be John? If it’s rusty I would recommend a good lubricant.
Do you need an assistant? I will work for minmum wage.
David – I’ll try set up a full department once I get settled in. If not, I’ll share my experiences on here for everyone to read.
I must say this is completely unexpected!
Whats going to happen to this site then? Would be a shame to neglect it. Good luck in the new position.
DGB
Matthew , I see the interviews are on Monday , you had better wear something warm as I suspect the queues stretch down the street
As has just been said, good luck in your new position , although my advice would be to limber up and do some stretches first, you don’t want to put your back out on the job do you .
