Zcat Pondering

A couple of links I've found recently. Not looking hopeful. I've got a six-month post-doc, to write articles, so that the next lot of CVs I send out are more healthy-looking, but it doesn't look as if it will help much. Especially as there are a couple more post-docs I want to apply for (starting after my current one finishes), which I still don't have the articles on CV for... Feel like a hamster on a wheel - running furiously, and getting nowhere! And I'm not alone. If we connected these wheels to some form of generator, we could have achieved clean energy by now!

Is it bad that I want to feel Survivor's Guilt?
