Yes it’s true, I’ve lost my job
June 4th, 2007
One of the advantages of being a bottom-rung data monkey in a large corporate office is that I have enough spare time and energy to create awesome things like SciencePunk.com. One of the disadvantages is that I am unceremoniously jettisoned like unwanted trash whenever they need to save a few pennies. This is actually the second time I’ve been disposed of in this manner by this company, even after two years of promising me full time employment - such is life for us shiny graduates.
So posts may become more or less frequent, probably the latter as I’ll have to put in a concerted effort to find gainful employment, and that’s hard work.
It could be worse: it’s the summer, the Liverpool World Museum is free-entry, and it’s warm enough to doze in the park, drunk on cheap cider with all the other dole scum.
I’ve added a neat-o link at the top of the site which will clock up my time as a benefits waster. You see, even in unemployment, I am awesomely creative.
PS - please give me a job.

I think this is just what you need - you’re destined for far better things that this stuffy office and my rubbishy software.
But anyway, if you have no luck finding a job, I’ll find you in the park and buy you a hot dog, or just glare at you like I did that guy that used to sit in the overpass all day…

Well, be sure to do plenty of “how long can I lie in the park getting drunk without having pigeons nest in my hair?” experiments.

Yes, but I also plan to stand on street corners shouting obscenities at pigeons - this could be a confounding factor.

That sucks, sorry to hear it. Let’s hope it’s the first step to greatness. Lots more time for blogging though.

I have been in the same situation in the past, so I feel for you. Good luck finding something more permanent (and hopefully more interesting, too).
Also, I just wanted to comment on how much I’m enjoying your blog, I just stumbled upon it and I’m looking back through some old posts. It’s always great to find more people writing about science, doing a better job than we do.
