So, following more changes of mind about what my new job will entail, I have now been granted the position of US funding editor. I think everything's worked out ok as I seem to have got the things that I most wanted to do, but it's been such a long, drawn-out process that I find it hard to muster much enthusiasm at the moment. Also, one of the things I was told during the interview was that I'd have to learn about making tough decisions and not always being able to keep everyone happy. I find this interesting when the guy interviewing me has created a new position instead of choosing between two people, and tailored the job descriptions of these two posts to what the applicants said they liked and didn't like. Something about practising what you preach, methinks.
I also have to do a load of interviews tomorrow, which should be fun as I haven't really had a proper chance to prepare. I think the hiring may involve a large amount of guesswork.
