The Dirty Secrets of Your TradeSo, Television is a hot bed of lies, deceit and made up competitions. We can't say that we are that surprised... every job is full of this stuff. It's not like the newspapers currently kicking TV whilst it is down are all that innocent.
We'd like you to even things out a bit. Spill the beans on your own trade. Tell us the dirty secrets that the public need to know.

OutcomesWhen applying for funding in academia, it is usually necessary to include a time plan for the grant period. This details what you will do and when you will do it, what the research outcomes will be, etc.
We all fill these things in with complete rubbish, then ignore them once the money comes through. Why? Because this is scientific research we're doing. If we knew the outcome before we started, then we wouldn't be doing the bloody research, would we?
Perhaps I should have done a PhD in foretelling the future instead.
Edit: Incidentally, regarding the post below, IPA in my language means iso-propyl alcohol. Not very nice to drink but it makes a nice low cost (i.e. free) windscreen washer additive...
