This is the work that Rob does...
In October this year I will recommence the life of a student when I
start a PhD in Astronomy - so I can tell you your stars.
Actually, I am really excited even though I have no idea what I am
doing and I expect the graduate studies board here at Cambridge will
fuck it all up given a minute fraction of a chance. If all does go
well, I'll be working at the Insititute of Astronomy. They have a great scheme
whereby they take in brainless wasters such as myself... and train
them in the art of being star-gazers. I love my job! :)
I suppose I should go and get on with it then!
I used to work at the UK Met. Office doing some boring computer
programming stuff on a project which defined two words: Legacy and
Dilbert. Due to their reluctance to enter the 21st century, among
other things such as crap pay, I left for the lures of the student
grant and the student lifestyle (and some interesting work!).
I did meet some lovely people there though!
Even before that, sometime back in the dark ages, I was at
Cambridge University - a dodgy place
somewhere in the large swamps that make up Eastern England. I studied
Physics and extensive Ganjology
- the two going well together (one driving me mad, the other calming
me down). I now have a loathing for complicated, abstract mathematical
theories and much prefer pretty pictures.
