I don't work for the NGV any more
As of next year, I'll be working four days a week helping people get research funding. So if you are looking for funding, give me a call.
The other day a week will be spent researching privacy.
This will put an end to the craziness of trying to get stuff finished for multiple projects with competing deadlines. It has been particularly bad over the last three months because I took on one too many projects. Now I'm facing the real possibility of carrying old work with me into my new job, which I really don't want to do.
On the other hand, it means that I have to turn down projects that I want to do, like helping the National Gallery of Victoria on their education, multimedia and social media projects. That really hurts because I love working for them. Overall, they have a very clear focus. Display art. Can't get simpler than that. If you love art, that is a really great mission statement to be working to.
Also, I'll miss their Christmas parties. They host great Christmas parties - huge bacchanalian feasts in the Great Hall. Tonight's will be a garden party, I think. I won't be going. I could have but...
I know it bothers me because I woke up with these lines running through my head.
"But it's all right now, I learned my lesson well.
You see, you can't please everyone, so you've got to please yourself"
