I didn't even survive the first week

What are my chances?

Which area specifically, i00t2000?

What are my chances?
M

I don't know about the area you're going for, but I'd have thought you'd be a prime candidate, with the qualifications that you've gained.

Pregnant in interview

Third kid, or third PhD?

Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
M

The title? Or the process of obtaining it?

Pea, how exactly could a ladies toilet seat make someone pregnant? Or is there something I'm missing here?

Baggy clothes? Hehe.

Seriously though, it sounds like you're applying for pretty top end stuff, so I would imagine that the academics involved are looking for the top people. Whether pregnant or not. They might want to know how you'd manage PhD and looking after a new-born child, whether you'd have to start late because of maternity leave and so on, but it really shouldn't affect their decision.

Any if it does - are they really the kind of people you want to work with?

Mojito - is that the one with rum and mint? And I completely understand what you mean about studenty places - most are either cheap 2 for 1 dives, or places which try desperately hard to be trendy, but are filled with the most poncy, stuck up undergrads you could ever try to avoid.

Question for Huntie

Huntie, if you're still about, tell me about your Birmingham experience. And what made you mention N. Barnes?

The Medicine Bar at the Custard Factory. Sounds somewhat surreal!

Yeah Huntie. How did you know that? I know the Pharmacology Dept isn't huge, but there's still about 7 or 8 staff there...
