anyway, talking of Americans as I just was in another totally different thread to this one, reminds me to ask...
are any of you b3ticans going to try your hand at getting a ticket to gawp at a corpse?

I really don't want to work with the public

( epiphany exit signs, they're on the way out aren't they, Fri 3 Jul 2009, 19:39, archived)

I don't think there would be any front line Chemist jobs, you'd be in a lab somewhere away from the sick people.
Once I'm qualified I'll only rarely have to deal with them.

I'd rather work in formulation of drugs and shit
rather than just analytical chemistry stuff.

Fair enough.
You're aware that all pharmaceutical companies are bastards though?

Yep
Why do you think I want to work for them! :D

Lots of money?
I quite like the fact that my job achieves something more than profit for the shareholders, though.
Or at least it will once I'm trained. Right now I'm a nice drain on resources.

Money and travelling and it's what I've been working on and enjoy really

Fair enough.
One of my old house/coursemates is in Housten working in oil at the moment.
He seems to be coping ok with having sold his soul to big business.

Earl will have to put on his Captain's cap like Tony Curtis

why is it that any kind of British accent makes the yanks (sorry, our American cousins) think we're cultured and intelligent or something?

a friend at work was very happy to learn of his death
as it meant he wouldn't have to get dragged along to a concert by his wife.

then he remembered how much he had paid for tickets
