Today I signed a contract with a major Australian university. It’s an academic appointment, complete with sponsorship for work permit, good salary and an ear to the Dean--in other words, social capital potential galore.

I’ll start in a few weeks (need to get visa sorted), and now I have to pick a new computer for myself. They won’t let me buy a Mac, so it’s a PC. I’m leaning towards a Toshiba Tecra M2--anybody got any feedback they can offer.

The job means no money or visa worries for me and [livejournal.com profile] querrelle. A huge pressure valve has been released. I’m dancing nekkid as I type this!

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Hoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Wow... congratulations to you. That is an amazing accomplishment. ;-)

Perhaps when I get to that point in my career, I can bend your ear a bit for some pointers. ;-)

*bear hugs*

Brilliant!!

I'm so excited for you.

The tecra seems to be a bit of a brick (quite heavy). What are you looking for, and what are your options? Can you pick anything, or is there a limitation of what you're allowed to choose from?

Wooohoooo!!!!!
