I've been to a couple preliminary meetings for doing one-off TRAs for other government departments and there's another tomorrow. If they pan out I'll be a busy bee these next few months working outside of Agriculture. Its seems my expertise with research centres is a big asset and can pay off.

And Olin when he gets himself wrong,
He's jaded but he's faded on a hot afternoon.
He can be a bit grim,
But there's records for him that'll make him swoon.

Blah news: In a strange reversal of events, IO9 wanted to interview me about my job, rather than any of the films I made. They thought it was a cool subject for them since I specialize in research centres. Well, the bosses shot that down, both for security concerns as well as worries of potential embarrassments.

Blah. :/

Yay news: Finally got my ( Read more... )
