Somehow my train (the 0739) is essentially the only thing running out of Didcot this morning (I think there's a gas leak somewhere just slightly downstream in the London direction). Hopefully it'll be fixed in time for me to go home tonight...

I knew my email volume had got worse over the last few years, but I've now made the error of crunching the numbers. This year I have received ~1000 emails/month (and sending ~600) or, as an alternative way of thinking about it, involved in a rolling total ~700 email threads/month. Ugh.

I'm at a restaurant in Wroclaw and every time the waiter gives me something he just says "you're welcome". It's clearly a badly-matched translation of a Polish expression and he's just being polite, but it sounds just beautifully passive-aggresive in English.

We are currently advertising for a two-year postdoc post as part of our @leverhulme.ac.uk-funded Seeing the Unseen project. Deadline is the 11th of August, and ideally we're aiming for a start date in late September. Please contact me if you'd like further details. www.bath.ac.uk/jobs/Vacancy...

Someone else needed overhead locker space, and the flight attendant seems to think this is a good plan (I'm on the front row, so there's no underseat space in front of me). I am rather surprised at this.
