Living Life in the Fast Lane

It’s been a long time coming… After months of complaining about having nothing to do I now find myself in an awkward position working two jobs with little more than two days off every two weeks to try and muster enough spare change to throw at my ridiculous water bills etc. Once used to the soul destroying activity that is tidying tidy library shelves life isn’t actually so bad. My time will come right? That perfect job IS just round the corner right? I didn’t just waste a year of my life studying to qualify as an Information Professional right? I will earn loads of money one day right? Who knows.

Do I think my hard work was worth it? I sure do. I got a distinction (top grade) for that wonderful thesis of mine! Opening that little white envelop to confirm my fate sure was nerve-racking. But I did it and I did it well. So stick that in your hippy pipe and smoke it Ms Webber, bet you regret hating on my ideas now huh!! It IS possible to write a decent dissertation about Iranian weblogs without being able to speak Persian! So now I have it confirmed that I actually did a good job of it I’m thinking of making a pdf version open access for all you other researchers to pick apart, to critique, to plagarise, to argue with but more importantly to enjoy. Or at least I hope you’ll enjoy it but for now… I’m off to Turkey and Syria on a much needed break from the shite English weather and overwhelming commercialised ‘Christmas spirit’. Scrooge I hear you say? Where?
