I am married to Spiderbaby and live in Banbury, Oxfordshire after eight years living in the USA and Sweden. I am working and training as a clinical scientist for the NHS in Oxford.
There are now over ten years of photographs on my blog! It all started with a photograph I took on the 1st of May 2004... It's been a wonderful journey, thank you all who have shared it with me, and made this blogging community one I keep coming back to!
Interesting things I read recently:
"Only one in five people born [in the UK] since 1975 believes in God".

"For every dollar invested in the Human Genome project, $141 was returned to the US economy". Francis Collins, NIH

I am Pavlovs_dog on PSN and would be happy to link up with Playstation-owning mobloggers : )
Too Much Information: The first album I ever bought was the Fraggle Rock soundtrack. Pretty cool, eh? I was only 16 : )
Sounds like you've made the right decision to move on! Being unhappy at work can make you miserable in other areas of your life. I hope you move into something better. Xxx
I'm so sorry you had to go through this, Crickson. I know someone else who is going through this type of crap in their science field, it seems to be going around.
Best of luck in whatever comes next!
You deserve better. It takes courage to do what you have done especially in the current climate. Good luck to you, better things await you x
:-( OMG I hope you told spiderbaby before you posted this, good luck :-)
Thanks for the support guys *hugs
Earthlad> Ha ha! Yes, she's as happy as anyone that it's over.
Better out of it Son of Crick, by the sound of it.
Good luck with whichever direction you choose to go, I'm certain you'll make the best of it.
Agree with all the above, a very difficult decision to make, but it was a very informed one, and I reckon the best one in the end. All good wishes to you and Spiderbaby for the future, much love, Maggie X
I'm glad you've come to a decision. Onward to 2012!
Happy Holidays with a weight off your shoulders!
It sounds like it has been building up and building up until you couldn't stomach it anymore. Glad you've made a decision. So I'm right in thinking you're leaving Sweden?
Oh, Crickson. Nothing to add to what everyone has already said: sorry you had to go through this, glad you're out of it now, and good luck.
Gah.
Here's hoping she doesn't have tenure.
All the best finding something with a different approach to honoring contracts & project funding terms.
