I continue as long as I can find stuff without having to uproot our life here. <br /><br />Of course, with the size of the Osaka-Kyoto sprawl, there is quite a lot of opportunities well within commuting distance, so it's not as impossible as it may sound. Also, we're not averse to _ever_ moving somewhere, just to chasing short-term jobs year after year.<br />Jan Morenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06834641501438709866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5455782214242472677.post-27719997733935842272012-09-25T20:19:44.447+09:002012-09-25T20:19:44.447+09:00It's good you have an option to continue worki...It's good you have an option to continue working on research projects, if you don't have to move long-distance too often. In my case, I put a line after exactly ten years of postdocs and four different universities: too much moving and too much uncertainty with no job in sight. Now working in computers and trying to obtain funding as an adjunct. Good luck to you!<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5455782214242472677.post-79552571297340858122012-09-25T15:55:51.438+09:002012-09-25T15:55:51.438+09:00"shevelled" — now there's a word we ..."shevelled" — now there's a word we should be using more.<br /><br />"Oh my, you're looking particularly shevelled today my dear."<br />Jan Morenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06834641501438709866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5455782214242472677.post-30934734409188069522012-09-25T15:44:14.725+09:002012-09-25T15:44:14.725+09:00Gruntled should indeed be a word.
