Am not going to apply for the job I found any more. I am a bit sad about this actually, but it is full time and I just can't be only seeing my baby for half an hour an evening and at weekends. Whatever they pay me.
HOWEVER, as I blithly mentioned below I *am* applying to present at a conference (where I woudl have applied to work as it happens) which is a BIG step for me... I am so very scared - it is 20mins! Jeeez. but it shows that I do want to be ana academic - I need to get my CV up an running. Get out there. Eeeeeeeeek. Plus I will need to sort out childcare etc etc but it isn't till June and I will have lots of notice if I am accepted to sort it out.
AND I am seriously thinking about nipping to Tanzania for a month to do some volunteering. I would go with DB and Bean. My friend has a charity there and the set up is fab, I am sure we would be very looked after. Bean is getting older and more capable all the time, quickly perusing a few forums it seems that he would be fine as long as we were careful re: malaria, food etc but we are seasoned travellers so pretty savvy and NOT at all risky. I have been so terribly ill abroad that I would always be super careful. My other friend went with out for a month, she told me about it yesterday and I was so envious and automatically dismissed it as I have a baby. But totally, why not take him? Let's do it, I mean this is my life - I work in aid and development! i have always dreamed of going somewhere in Africa and always wanted to climb Kilimanjaro - we would be able to do that! Yeah man, let's go realise some dreams!
I wonder if DB would mind if we went on our honeymoon?! That may be a step too far... ;0)
Exciting times!
