I don't know if it's going to be any help though, you may have already tried a few things.
I have had my arse kicked for a month by a visting fellow (fairly famous in my feild) so I actually did some work. And I get to go to a conference in New Zealand in February, so I'm pretty chuffed. And you? other than losing a paper?

If I get my jobI have Kyoto. Or it might be Tokyo. I shall also be entertaining myself with Chicago and Halifax.
If I don't get my job I shall be sitting in the park here drinking cheap beer, accosting young mothers for cents and growing an impressive collection of warts.

You want to get a job in GermanyThey complained soon after I got here because the tax on beer went up a cent or two a bottle. Actually it may have been as much as FIVE CENTS. I don't remember, chiefly because I'd just moved from a country selling bottled beer at about £1.80/bottle and was in one selling it for 70 fucking cents even after the tax increase!
