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.

    …are you worried about jeopardising your job because of the additional time off or because of telling them the reason you need time off?

    as to the first problem, is working overtime to make up for it an option?

Quote of the day

Getting an education was a bit like a communicable sexual disease. It made you unsuitable for a lot of jobs and then you had the urge to pass it on.
--(Terry Pratchett, Hogfather)
