End of an era-ish

Posted on July 31, 2012 By admin

First there was Dr John, then Sam Patient, then Antony Quinn, and now Chris Taylor… Next one to go will be Phil Jones. It’s weird that I’ve been at EMBL since May 2005 and my 9 years will shortly be up (my current contract ends October 2013). Stupid rule *grumble*

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)
