The closest thing to "uni work" I accomplished today was 45 minutes this evening spent checking the various positions to which I might wish to apply to find those who's initial application deadline has already past. Those I sent a quick e-mail stating that I'd seen their ad and are they still seeking applicants? I included a link to my CV and let ( Read more... )
