Accademic contracts
I'm postdocing. The contract runs out in June and I'm getting nowhere fast looking for either an industry job or another academic post. There isn't a lot of call for physicists with my skills, and most of the jobs floating around are pretty much guaranteed to be earmarked for someone's recently finished PhD student.

There is a slim chance I'll hear this coming week if I've got an interview for a job x-raying old stuff. That or I'll give up on science and see what I can get herding servers.
