Never mind. You'll be back to work with the Prof soon anyway, where every day's a holiday.

Been working on a research grant proposal since December. Finally got it submitted today. 

Just got to wait 9 months to find out if the research council will give me three quarters of a million quid or not. 

Is it your grant proposal or you doing the professor's work for him?

He doesn't do research any more. He came here on a contract to only do teaching. 

Then decided that teaching was a bit much to take on.

Good luck.  It’s a tough slog. 
 

And if it’s successful I want to see that my tax dollars are going to good use.

I guarantee there will be no tangible or useful outputs whatsoever.

I have another company wanting to interview me as well, but I’m just not going to bother with it as the one I’ve been offered always looked better for me.

On holiday just now and really enjoying ourselves. Done a lot of walks with the dogs, been out on a boat and saw some dolphins, went snorkelling tonight and saw loads of cool wee marine critters. Going on another wee trip out tomorrow and booked into a really good restraunt for our last night here.

Pure lovin' it!
