Dear people applying to vacancies: if the vacancy asked for 2 references, don't write in your documents that they are available on request. This is the request! And I keep getting frustrated about the dozens of people I have to reject immediately because they did not supply all requested documents.

This time, I explicitly included in the advertisement "Incomplete applications will be discarded immediately." Why on earth do I have so many applications with only a CV, or only a letter and a CV?! These are people with MSc degrees, no exception. How difficult is it to read?! Frustration!

Today I am on strike. For the first time in my life. It is part of a relay strike among universities in The Netherlands to protest against the dramatic budget cuts higher education is facing. Earlier this year, already 47 tenured faculty members at our university were fired.

Why is it so difficult for most applicants to read the vacancy carefully and 1) submit all documents asked for, and 2) understand the sentence: "do not send your application per E-Mail". During the PhD you need to be able to study mathematical papers which are orders of magnitude more

I'm not going to repeat what Trump said about the plane crash and diversity policy. However, I want to stress that diversity has been shown to lead to better results for companies and other workplaces. And by "better results" I really mean: more profit, more output, more money for the stakeholders.

So, train delays. It's going to be tight to change from Gare de Lyon to Gare du Nord around 17. RER or walk/run? I've a suitcase which makes running suboptimal. RER is faster in expectation, but is will be rush hour before Christmas, so high variance. Walking feels deterministic. What shall I do?
