Hot and Tired
It cooled down a little today, which is very, very nice. I hope it stays cool, as I am having some trouble sleeping (and for the record I am an excellent sleeper most of the time) as it is so hot. I also hate our fan because it is noisy.
In other news UVic (University of Victoria) is offering an assistant professor job in organic chemistry. This is the first organic position in years. Mr Bob is very excited and will be applying enthusiastically. There is no corresponding position for a physical chemist, but hope springs eternal.
Bob out

So you're the physical type and Mr. Bob is orgasmic, I mean organic?
Ditto on both the inability to sleep and the hating the noisy fan.
Yay for Mr. Bob on the assistant prof position. Good luck finding a p-chem spot.
Just to be clear. The job has just being posted. (ie they are offering a position to the world in general, not to Mr Bob)
It's just cool because we would love to be back in Victoria. It's our favorite city, a nice mix of big city/small city, on the ocean, near our family and some friends. It's almost too perfect to hope for.
Of course I need a job too and Victoria has one university and no industry.
And yes, Mr Bob is an organic synthetic chemist and a bit of a biologist as well.
Can't get enough biology. How many anatomy lessons have you had? Wait, don't answer that.
Super cool on the possibility of coming back to the Island!
What about ear plugs, to help reduce some of the fan noise? I hate not being able to sleep, so I feel for you.
Ear plugs always make me feel like I have a cold and am all stuffed up.
Last night was lovely and cool. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh......
Ya, I hope Mr. Bob gets the job! Something will open up for you. You might be surprise. Is there another university within commuting distance? Or maybe this is your big chance to have babies & stay at home playing with them. You could always do a little freelance science writing & editing. See, problem solved! :-)
Good luck to Mr. Bob!
Victoria is beautiful and has a perfect climate. I'll bet the Uni is innundated with applications!
I don't like the ferry rides though.
