1. HELPING CHEMISTS FIND JOBS IN A TOUGH MARKET. 2. TOWARDS A QUANTITATIVE UNDERSTANDING OF THE QUALITY OF THE CHEMISTRY JOB MARKET.
What's the job market like for chemists? Dude -- it's always bad.*
How bad is it? How the heck should I know? Quantifying the chemistry job market is what this blog is about. That, and helping chemists find jobs.

Not sure its 100% appropriate, but in show biz don't they say "Break a leg!" ? Break a flask, maybe?
ReplyDeletewhat are all these giggles about? - you are sounding like a pot conference hitting the bongs hard... I would expect a more somber tone in these trying times and job market situation
ReplyDeleteJust some opening night nervous jitters and a bit of holiday fun I suspect, Milkshake. No one has to tell me about the less than stellar job situation, but we can't be 100% serious ALL the time. There is something delightfully silly about someone asking you your sign; Next time it happens I am going to tell then it's that funny sideways 8 of infinity.
ReplyDeleteFirstly, I will thank CJ for taking the time away from his family this evening for the event. It was a little strange to hear the question about the astrological sign, I must admit.
ReplyDeleteWhile I got a laugh out of the entire event, I also found CJ's reaction to the call-in guest who was out of work to be a little surprising.

huh. chemjobber has a really good radio voice.
ReplyDeleteSorry C-jobs, forgot to call in. It was a good time for me too, but I went out for some drinks with university types instead. Some of the people who were supposed to be at the bar also bailed on me. I will definitely try to call in next time if you do this in the future. I do have a good crap talking capability and can keep up a conversation about stuff going for a while.
