Unemployment
Might be a blessing as I appear to have narked off (*) someone in my office and the atmosphere in here is rather akin to haivng told my best mate that I've invited Gary Glitter to do the music at her son's third birthday...

Yeah, so, on topic, I was unemployed after I did my PhD. So I wrote and presented pub quizzes to scrape some cash together. Then I was unemployed after my first postdoc. So I sat on my arse and watched Jeremy Kyle for three months.

What a great story, I'll tell you again in more detail later if you like.

*cries*

EDIT: ooh, scratch that, he's just wandered over and handed me a bar of chocolate, well kind of threw it on my desk. I guess that means we're speaking again now.


(*) it involved booze on Friday. Always does.

Pub quizzes?
I can just imagine. Did you ask questions like "Name two transmembrane protein complexes" or the like?

And better make sure it's not laxative chocolate... :-)

Nope, not that geeky. There was a maths round though... :)

It's perfectly good Kinder chocolate. I've tentatively extended the hand of friendship by offering to take him for a drink this evening... I'm still waiting for a response...

Oh Rakky...
What're you like? At least you didn't say anything about money-shots and prawns.

No
I only do that on dates. It's like a party trick. :)

This, however, is probably worse.

I don't know about the rest of mankind...
But...

*Pandertron engage*

If any bloke here was there then they'd more likely have fallen off their chair laughing.
