academia – the place of ultimate qquirque – where the best you can do is to stay out of the road of the nasty pasties who are out there to rip you off as fast as you can come up with the concepts – but this time my dear schadenfreude colleagues; i believe that i might just have circumvented your deleterious dabblings : )
and the very bestest bit – there are no nasty games involved – goody goody goody – just smart out-thinking – perhaps I should not boast – not that you would read this – but am rather enjoying the prospect of future facial expressions – rather a lot actually : )
and to those colleagues of mine who are assisting in the entertaining of the next big ‘thang’ – i thank you greatly – aaaahhh perhaps tea and scones all round when it comes off eh what? Naaahhh bugger that for a joke – let’s go and get right royally sloshed – preferably on something worthy….
and to all those other academics out there who are sick and tired of appalling behaviour by your colleagues – remain optimistic – there are some of us who believe that research is actually to add something positive to the state of the planet and that sometimes some of us do things for altruistic as well as egotistic reasons and furthermore that it does not have to entail damaging, maiming and ripping off others in the process….. co-operation can work : )
