Because lecturing is only a part of my job.
I need time to do research, write grants to get funding for research, write up the research and get it published, write new courses and lecture slides, provide near-constant levels of pastoral care for inept students, do a fuckload of useless overly bureaucratic admin, and sit on my arse drinking coffee and moaning about how it was better in the good old days yadda yadda.

That's at least three years' worth right there.

Just the career I'm aiming for.
Lost out on four lectureships and hoping to get the next one in Dublin.
