Work, Scotland, Politics
Apr. 5th, 2005 10:29 pmBack to work this week. The sense of impending doom proved relatively unfounded and we got an e-mail from the journal to say the paper has been accepted. Yay us! The dataset may have been distinctly underwhelming but the covering letter was an absolute masterpiece of spin.
Friday I have to go up to Edinburgh for the day to re-examine a Ph.D candidate. The train ride up the east coast is always pretty and April/May the best time of year for the city. Sunlight lighting up the old grey tenements, chasing away the shadows of Presbyterian disapproval. My father’s half scots, I belong here, I do! Feel slightly uncomfortable going back to places anyway. Have to keep moving forward. Like a shark.
General election called for May 5th with the polls uncomfortably close. Sense of impending doom returns.
