I haven’t been unemployed in recent months. I have still
been classed as a part-time Research Assistant I at
Memorial University, though I have had few hours. I also
have been paid for 20 hours a week as backup evenings,
nights, and Sundays (five days a week) home support
worker to my ill brother.
But it does look as though I will be unemployed as of
the end of the month. My supervisor at the university
is retiring then, and unless he gets a title of Research
Professor and the ability to use the remainder of his
grants, my contract will be terminated. Also, after
one fall too many, my brother has been in hospital
for almost two weeks, and it looks as though he will
be moving to a personal care home, and my home
care contract will be terminated.
What next? I have saved up some money, and haven’t
had a holiday in a while, and haven’t been in Vancouver
since a short visit in September, 2004, and before
than not since I left after ten years in mid-December, 1995.
So I might take a holiday in Vancouver before the rainy
season starts.
And, then, hopefully my creativity will kick in and I will
be able to come up with a bright idea that will land
me a postdoctoral fellowship somewhere, perhaps
here at Memorial, perhaps at UBC, or elsewhere.
One area I am interested in researching is that of
cetacean communication, perhaps in conjunction
with a friend who is a musician and has a Ph.D.
in linguistics (I think she studied the Inuit dialects).
Also I have generated some past physics clues
that I need to decipher, connect, and pursue. So
anyway I don’t plan to do nothing.
