Hello Simon,
Apologies for my ignorance, but I don't know what your job is. Are you in private practice or academia? What do you dislike about your job? What parts do you like? Maybe you could take some time out and travel or concentrate on a hobby - something to take your mind away from work. You might find that it will help you to focus on what you want to do and what has a chance of making you happy rather than focussing on what you do not enjoy or are bored of?
I assume most people feel the same from time to time. I do. I enjoy aspects of my job, but I am not so keen on others. The monotony of working in the NHS can be quite wearing and I am less tolerant as the years advance. Private practice enables me to have greater freedom to work the way I prefer and allows me to enjoy life outside of work, but it is still work nonetheless.
You could do your surgery training if you fancied a change?
Bob

Hi Si

Glasgow Caladonian Uni were advertising a Biomx professorship on here a little while ago. From memory you have the right qualifications and R & D was part of the deal.
Might be worth an ask ??
Good Luck

Have a position for an assistant for a month - just had two pro golfers in today (not to mention Tiger's personal assistant yesterday) as the first hole at Royal Lytham is less than a nine iron from the surgery - and then it's back to the Premiership pre-season screening next week until the beginning of August. Can't promise a fistfull of dollars but the hotel that I use for accomodating locums is bursting at the seams with sluttly pole-dancers for the next few weeks......

You can take spooner as your assistant if you ask him nicely and show him the "Auld Game" first hand

Well done Mark

Enjoy
Cheers

More like "on the game" if Mr Spooner were involved.

How about researching the effect of increasing amounts of Newcastle Brown on Postural Sway?

I'm going to Newcastle soon for a stag weekend. I haven't walked "the dog" in that sense for a long time, only in the literal sense these days.
