Just signed contract for my new job. I'm now the manager of the Centre for Applied Cross-Cultural Research at Victoria University, very conveniently located in the same department where I'm doing my Masters.
So the freelance gigs and casual stuff are now thoroughly on the backburner. I start Monday. It's only part-time of course but, yeah. New job! Neato.
I shall be celebrating on Saturday night at Rumpus 08: Rumpus vs Episode. You should come too, if you are in Wellington this weekend. The Rumpletron lives again!
(Have I ever admitted that the name Rumpus comes, not from Where The Wild Things Are, but from Miller's Crossing?)

Seriously, well done old chap. A well-deserved recognition of your many talents.
Posted by: Johnnie at July 3, 2008 9:21 PMYay for the new job. You are already seriously busy, now what will happen??
Posted by: Giffy at July 3, 2008 10:34 PMCongratulations of the new job!
In my mind Rumpuses are always to do with partying Wild Things. What is the Miller's Crossing reference?
Posted by: Debz at July 4, 2008 1:06 PMThanks all. Giff: good question. I just keep on pushing, as the saying goes... Debz: in Miller's Crossing, all the Coen Bros. tough guys talk in this highly stylised patois, like coming into a room and asking "What's the rumpus?" for "Any news?"
