hoping that someone will talk to me.

Tonight I'm drinking, and watching a film. And playing on b3ta, obviously.

1408. John Cusack, Samuel L Jackson, Stephen King.
Saw Watchmen last night. It was good, but missed out a big chunk of the book.

I am hot, and dehydrated, I'm grungy, and I'm bored. *sigh*

drink dsomething cold
not sure about the boredom, either, perhaps add danger to the something cold by adding Pihranas

I'm waiting for Blousie to add the Pier trip to the B3ta calendar.
I hope she'll add the words, 'Jeff will be taking the ladies of OT up the promenade'

I somehow doubt she will though.

So does that mean you'll take up the offer for a chip supper but reserve the right to say 'no' ?
SOOOO UNFAIR.

Have you ever been taken up the OXO tower? I think that would be quite nice.

I haven't. Isn't there a restaurant at the top of there?

One of the most devine resturants in london, apparently, I've never had someone to go up the oxo tower with so I don't know.

Had an interview for a job I don't actually want
it went ok, but I doubt I've got the job, and I'm not overly fussed by it. Have applied for several things I like the look of very much and should hopefully hear back soon. I'm feeling less doom-and-gloomy about it most of the time, but it comes in phases if you know what I mean.

What job were you interviewed for, and would it mean relocating?

Another technician job, in South London
I had thought it'd be ok to commute, but it took over an hour to get from Marylebone to the institute and that was in the middle of the day - imagine how much worse it'd be in rush hour. So I'd have to move to south London, and I just don't fancy it tbh. Some of the institutes in north London would be ok, that are only a few tube stops or walkable from Marylebone, and I could live in Leamington adn commute in...it'd be hard, but if it's all I'm offered I'll take it. But I'd rather stay in the area, there's good stuff coming up at Oxford, and one job in Warwick and another in Birmingham. Fingers crossed...

Well if you do have to change to a job you'd rather not do, just remember that you've not signed up for life
You can change jobs again after 6 months if needs be.

So don't fret too much.

No, you sign a contract for however long the funding is for
it's not the done thing to leave midway through as it screws up funding and continuity in the lab, and it would look very bad on my CV.

I'm only really familiar with commercial sectors. Consider my 'helpful' comment retracted.
What locations, if you had to move, would you consider?
(, Sat 16 Jul 2011, 22:08, Reply)
If location/TC wasn't an issue
then I'd move anywhere, really. Manchester, Bristol, Cambridge and London particularly.
(, Sat 16 Jul 2011, 22:11, Reply)
I'm guessing you couldn't move and for TC to follow you down later?
I'd imagine there are more Tennis opportunities in London.

No, it was mentioned
and I think he'd like to move to London for a few years...but he's just bought a flat here, and a lot of what he does is self-employed, and if he were to move he'd have to build all of that up again. So unless he were headhunted for a particular club, a move isn't really financially feasible.
(, Sat 16 Jul 2011, 22:13, Reply)
I'm sure you're both considering all of the best options
I hope you get the right role in the right location and everything if good.

When is your last day in your current role likely to be?
(, Sat 16 Jul 2011, 22:21, Reply)
30th September, as it currently stands
which is why I might have issues with the pierbash - it's not really the done thing to take ones last day off as annual leave, is it?

Any further news of your exhibition, or indeed, amazon trip?

nah
the exhibition is down to me to organise and I've still not contacted the place *adds to task list*. The Amazon thing I might not hear about for a while. At some point I should get a letter, then it's all about replying as soon as I can and hoping I get in first.
