Sev's a lecturer.

Take the teacher's tough lot and halve it.

And add in a good number of 18-21 year old girls for him to perv at

I've decided to take up an invitation from a friend to join him and his wife on a tour of the whisky isles of Scotland next April when all the whisky festivals are on. My ungrateful whisky-hating wife wasn't too pleased for some reason.

...then quadruple the number of students you teach in each class, add to that the design and setting of the assessments, the research into each topic, the production of lecture materials, writing unit leader's reports and supervising final year and PhD students. In between which we have to fit in outreach programmes and then your research, which doesn't give you much time to write grant applications which means you get less funding, which means less time to do research so you get more teaching to do, ad infinitum. All for less pay than your peers who left uni after their degree.

I bet she moans that you never take her anywhere too.

Just no pleasing some people.

[saintsbird]

I am starting to get excited for my work xmas party tonight. We were all swapping notes on what we are wearing at lunchtime

Its even better that I am off tomorrow so can have a few wines

[Old Frightful]

Had an appointment with a solicitor today, regarding the will of a chap i knew who died recently. The solicitor informed me that, as i suspected, he'd left his estate to his sister in law in New Zealand. I was able to tell him her name and where she lives so he could look up the NZ white pages on line in order to contact her to tell her the news.

As I was leaving his office, about midday, he said "after you've gone i'll find her number and phone her in a few minutes".

I had to point out that phoning an 84 year old lady, even on such an important matter, might not be well received at around 1am local time.

He looked a little flustered and then said he'd phone in the morning.

I don't blame her. As I too prefer bourbon to scotch I wouldn't be too happy either.

Don't forget writing for publication, which is linked to research but is still a ball ache.

*see how I stick up for you? You owe me one.

It's down right unreasonable how much she whines... she grumbles when I don't take her anywhere now she's grumbling because I have arranged something as a surprise for her.

Wimmen...
