Dilemma

Posted on February 21, 2005 By admin 6 Comments on Dilemma

I checked my email this morning and saw that I've been invited to an interview for a job at the EMBL. As in, the European Molecular Biology Laboratory. As in, the one in England.

The fact that I've even gotten an interview offer is a Very Good Thing. They're paying for my flight and for my lodgings. I should be jumping for joy right now, and I am – on the inside. The outside, however, is wondering how the hell I'm going to be able to get time off from my current job.

I'll talk to a few people this week. I'm fairly sure my boss – who's Welsh – will understand my motives for wanting to go. Furthermore, we're less than busy at the office right now. Still, the last thing I want to do is jeopardize the job I have for one I'm applying for. Blergh.

Quote of the day

Sam Vimes could parallel process. Most husbands can. They learn to follow their own line of thought while at the same time listening to what their wives say. And the listening is important, because at any time they could be challenged and must be ready to quote the last sentence in full. A vital additional skill is being able to scan the dialogue for telltale phrases such as "and they can deliver it tomorrow" or "so I've invited them for dinner?" or "they can do it in blue, really quite cheaply."
--(Terry Pratchett, The Fifth Elephant)
