What I know is that being a Lecturer these days means, 'teaching' a bunch of ungrateful shits, doing admin, and then still being expected to push out world class letters to Nature once a year. There's enough pressure working as an RA, forget about being a Lecturer. I wouldn't mind admin doing admin and Lecturers lecturing, and Researchers researching. To do all 3, and on that money! You must be having a laugh

That'll make me an ungreatful shit then sad

My career path has been wide and varied
i started out as a bit part actor, appearing in crossroads,where I memorably played the reception setee. This led on to an offer to appear in the James Bond franchise which kept me employed for many years reprising my role as Ms chair.
sadly for me the good times came to an end when Judy Dench took the role and my career slid into theatre and commercials. You may remember me as thedressing table in the black magic adverts.
In a final attempt to ressurect my career I appeared in Our friends in the north as a suitcase. sadly the critics panned me saying I was too wooden..................when obviously I should have been leather.
Disheartened I left the stage for good and took up a career selling advertising space on the back of buses. This however did not work out as after I had fallen off three times and been run over by the number 47 I was shown the door. It was to be fair a very nice door with brass handles
On the dole again I took to delivering unicycles but this was a dying market and redundancy loomed, so I applyed for the post of display cabinet in the victoria and albert museum and was very happy there
family commitments however have meant that I have had to downscale my career and I am currently a library rack in coventry Library
I am however persuing a new career training Goldfish and have achieved nvq level one

:doh: What have I been saying all along. But one good thing has come of this. We've discovered that Warwick is the evil genius who is trying to take over the world with his goldfish.
