Woo! I have been promoted!

[AndyR]

Big congrats :D

I can't think of anymore amusing "tele" comments - in fact, I don't really think Philly's pic can be topped - so I shall say no more about it :)

[Roobubba]

Thanks everyone (except you, Philly, you dirty stop-out, you! :D)

So does this mean no more 24 hour shifts?

Sadly not - well I say sadly, but I quite enjoy working at the synchrotrons even if it does wipe me out for a few days.

Congratulations.

So who do you work for Sounds like a Uni?

I work for a major institute that does cancer research. We are the largest academic drug discovery outfit in Europe (possibly also the world), and I do X-ray crystallography of drug targets for our drug discovery and development programmes. It's a fantastic place to work (although the commute from Oxford is truly a b*tch!), and it's doing exactly what I want to be doing.

I count myself very lucky!

Any spare jobs going?  I'm about two days away from knocking my boss the $%&# out.

Excellent Roo, a very worthwhile job too and you like it BONUS!

[Nadz1lla]

Brilliant, Roo! Congrats on that, and doing a very worthwhile job too mate, kudos!  :D

Congratulatory treat for you, Roo...

Congratulations, that's great news!  It's so good to hear someone who can be genuinely enthusiastic about what they do.

Nice one Roo, well done. I hope it all works out for you. Philly you crack me up!
Very worthwhile job too, it must be very challenging and interesting.
5 Proffessors interviewed you?! Was you nervous? My last 'interview' consisted of one question. Can you drive that lorry? Asked by an Ogre in rigger boots and a brown pin stripe suit!  :lol:
