Some days just start right. In my inbox this morning: an email from one of my professional associations with announcements of several jobs. Including: CUNY
( Read more... )
Hey, you know what? Yesterday I was ftp-ing some files onto our main lab server and while en route to my directory, I discovered that someone in our lab has done, or is currently doing, an experiment named BEAR. I will investigate more today to see what kind of experiment it is.
You icon expresses it perfectly. What next? Are they going to have a job for me in London too?
*shakes head in disbelief*
Hey, so I got a new New Yorker yesterday and they have a profile of the architect who designed the amazing looking new apartment tower in Malmo (Turning Torso, I think it's called). Have you seen it? It looks insane and wonderful in pictures.
Ah yes, the Malmö folly. I live about 15-20 mins. from the building. On foot. So yes, I've seen it alright. ;-) It looks nice, but not very practical in a windy city CLOSE to the waterfront (as in 1-200 metres or so)... and the costs are sky-rocketing. (Dad's an architect, but on other projects) My town has less than 300,000 inhabitants, and very many of them are unemployed workers living on my tax money. Hee. You should come visit and see it for yourself. ;-)
I thought the building was luxury apartments (all already sold)- ie not publically funded.
I'm a huge fan of fanciful architecture - my department at MIT was housed in a Gehry building. Wildly impractical, hugely expensive, problem prone, etc, but utterly glorious and striking.
There's a job at UNC-CH too, Min. The fact that it wouldn't start until next fall and then you'd be gone 6 months later makes it much less squee-worthy than it would be if you were staying. But still happy news - it could be a decent job.
Puppies and kitties are a very good way to start the morning. Even if they do leave fuzz all over everything you are wearing. :-)
i'm going to be here at least until may '07, linney! and depending on where michael goes to grad school, maybe even longer! (if he gets in to yale or columbia, both in places where i don't want to live, i'll probably look for jobs here and stick around ch a little longer; cost of living here = significantly less than cost of living in new haven or nyc, for example. so i could save up some money and pay off some debt here, whereas i'd probably be living hand to mouth for quite a while in nyc. but that's still all up in the air.)
selfishly i think you should apply for only the job in chapel hill, but magnanimously i think that the job at cuny is fanTAStic because i know how much you love nyc. and ch is nice, but it's no chicago or boston or nyc. it's probably a step up from lansing, but it's still not the kind of city (or cities, as it were) i know you love.
Oh, of course I'm applying for UNC. I'm applying for everything I can, and if I have the luxury of choosing, then I can start to think about comparing one place to another. It's just that I never in a million years thought there would ever be a job for me in NYC. It's utterly thrilling.
I had no idea Michael was thinking about grad school! That's fantastic. To study what exactly?
Toronto has a job too, but they only want a senior person! Elitist bastards. But there's a position at UWO that I will apply for (and that would actually be a decent option). And in a little over a week I will be in Toronto and then I will squish you! Squish! Squish!
