1st jab done (Pfizer).Arrived 3 mins before scheduled time for jab @ 10:25. Queue to get into a queue as soon as I got there. Was very busy in Punchestown. Out in the car @ 11:45.
Unfortunately I seem to be part of the small % that have symptoms. Very tired, aching pains, genuinely feel like I'm going to throw up. Suck it up and take a few paracetamol I suppose.Jayzus, Sheila! I forgot me feckin' trousers

But on the other end of the spectrum, are the people everywhere that regularly work 50% more than their contracted hours, working silly 60 hour weeks (I believe I've seen yourself post this a few times). Stop it, you're ruining it for the rest of us who are trying to work less. If your job regularly needs you to work more than 35-40 hours a week leave immediately, it's not worth it.

I publish far more research than most other academics, hence my current position which is extremely difficult to get. But it objectively doesn't add up to much 'output' - maybe 30,000 printed words a year, and 90 hours of teaching? But the ideas in those 30,000 words seem to be very strong and that's what science values, this development of new ideas. There's one idea I'm hopefully going to get published this year (its quite far along to being accepted in a scientific journal ranked quite prestigiously) on how to value NFTs, that's the first valuation model for NFTs that anyone has come up with. But did I work much on it; a few weeks maybe, and what was all the rest of the time during the year spend on? I don't know.
I developed a new course that will hopefully be approved by the government soon, and will (hopefully again) attract about €400,000 of annual student fee income. I had a 50% share in a successful application to get a new prof (as in, I did half of the work). That prof award is worth about €2million to the uni based on what the government will hand over in funding for the position. So I've paid my way, I've created more value than I've been paid.
But ... it goes in spikes. In September, October, January, I was easily working 70+ hours a week. Right now? Almost nothing.
The NFT study started from a hobby of looking at NFTs. I've now the first three finance publications on the topic. The new course is based on coding, which also started as a hobby. So, where will future ideas come from? Could it be game design. Might there be some meaning there that can be translated into finance, into business? The tweets are handy ways of maintaining some form of national recognition which help a bit with national program applications, like the new course, like the prof funding. Maybe. They also help to develop argumentative style, which is important in convincing academic studies.

After 5 years of dealing with my court case I had a 1.5 hour negotiation today, where the opposition get to size you up (see that I am well presented, affable, how I come across kind of thing but are not actually allowed to talk to you, so they stare you down across a car park) and my case has finally settled. Delighted that it's over now. Should get paid in a couple of weeks I guess and nice not to duke it out in court. My solicitors said anybody talking to me would be keen to settle which is nice haha.
Got my covid vaccine text just as it settled, off to do the euro millions then.Last edited by Tar.Aldarion; 15-07-21, 15:14.

They may enjoy parts and the pay makes life easier for some but I'm talking about people who are going to be working until they're 60/70 years old and giving over their time to employers. Not like yourself who retired young (I think you've retired anyway but may have you mixed up).Last edited by Charlie Sheen; 15-07-21, 16:19.

First vaccine I had no side effects bar the sore arm, went for a few beers after. The second kicked the bollocks out of me (and that seems to be the norm between most people I know), chills, headache, body aches, so I wouldn't have a packed day of activities planned the next day. It takes a good 6-12 hours to kick in and lasted about 18 hours.

I do work more hours than I should and there is several reasons for it and you can argue both sides on the reasons.
I do mostly enjoy my job. The last 16 months have not been as enjoyable but a lot that is outside everyone's control. The effect that Covid has had on my industry is massive and it's not just me or my company - I speak to people right across the industry all the time and we are all pretty much in the same boat (pardon the pun) It's also not likely to change much in the next 6-8 months so that's something I need to deal with - I'm not saying there is no job in my industry that has less hours/stress/pressure at the minute, but I haven't found one at my level yet that does.
I wouldn't say I'm a complete perfectionist but when it comes to work issues, I'm pretty bloody close so I want everything done right, every time. I'm also super competitive so if me working extra hours is the difference between me winning and keeping business over my competitors, than I am absolutely going to do it every time. I just don't have it in my make up to walk out the door at 5:30 because that is my official clocking off time when I know something isn't done when it needs to be done, regardless of how or why we got to that point.
I am also very well paid for what I do which helps when putting in the additional hours but it's not the only thing. There are, of course, times when no amount of money will make up for the hours that are required but there is an element of taking the good with the bad.
I don't think I have no life - I see friends and family regularly, I have hobbies, I go to the pub, I eat out, take holidays (admittedly, some are disturbed with calls now and then but I'm not glued to a laptop when off or actively working) Could I do more of these goods things if I worked less? Absolutely I could but again it about getting the right balance.
The amount I work is something I am definitely thinking about more and more over the last few months and I think it is something that will become a bigger part of my overall outlook on life over the next couple of years - it's harder to put the longer hours in, the older you get

If working extra becomes a regular occurrence then i'd expect overtime/time in lieu.
Not every industry is the same and there will be cases where you kinda have to put the hours in. One also has to be cognizant of the way one's refusal to work extra hours could be viewed by peers/management. Not saying it's correct or anything but just that it's the way in works in practice.

I probably make Hitch look like fastidious, but can get high value stuff done in low amount of time. I've also found that effort vs actual reviews and what people think of you don't line up at all.
People have different priorities, I am not working long hours for more money for example, some people will want that and unfortunately some people need that.
I think the 5 out of 7 day work weeks are outdated and we will see a slow shift towards shorter weeks, I think I even posted here that I'd been recently offered a few 4 day work weeks from companies already. Some industries will obviously cling tighter, Lao above for instance, they are happy they get to work people to the bone and that's it, and the nature of the work may need people there more but that should bring about more employees, not more work. For instance, if a company loses an employee and the position is vacant, they will shunt that work onto another employee or several, if that work keeps being done satisfactorily because those people now work harder and have a worse quality of life, the position will often disappear, why bother hiring somebody, these fools will do it anyway.

We've been looking to recruit now in my department for the guts of 3-4 months and the lack of suitable candidates is shocking, absolutely shocking and that is again an industry wide problem.
Despite all the issues around hiring, as a company, we've hired around 20 people in the last year (some areas are easier to get staff) but we have had to pay to do it. Pay rates for people who are between complete noobs to 3/4 years experience have shot up and competition to keep staff is insane.
We had a plan to get into the schools to try set up a feeder system into work for people who want a good career but don't want to go to college but again Covid has put those plans on hold. Hopefully, we can kick start it again later this year/early next.

Thing about management though, is that they know who the work clock-watchers are and if they think you are one of those then you can say goodbye to any chance of promotions or favours when needed.No beast so fierce but knows some touch of pity, but I know none, therefore am no beast.

I think the vast majority of clock watchers aren't interested in getting promoted. They are happy to do their 9-5, switch off and go home. They're not interested in taking on the additional responsibilities, pressure and possible workload that may come with the promotion. And that's fine. From an employer point of view, you need to have a varied workforce. You need people who are noobies, people who are steady eddies and people who are chomping at the bit to get to the next level. The hard bit is getting and keeping that balance right.
I have people who work for me that come in, do their 9-5 and go home, but the quality of their work is excellent. I treat them the exact same way as everyone else when it comes to favours, be it coming in late/going early when needed, taking an early/late lunch or whatever it is. You can't treat people different in that regard.
If management are doing that, then the problem is with them, not the staff. You have to have a fair and consistent approach with all staff.

COVID has been pretty great for my work life balance or at least this year has - last year was a shot show.
I used to need to call people outside of office hours since most people are not overly comfortable taking recruitment calls in earshot of their boss.
With everyone working from home they now prefer to take these calls during the day instead.
Still have a whole weeks worth of admin pulled up at the end of the week tho

ResearchGate is the place to track down any studies fwiw! Academia.edu essentially shut down a decade ago. But has a lot of remnants.
It didn't take long to write that NFT study. That's what I was trying to get at yesterday but on rereading didn't say it well enough. Like that particular study took only a week or two, which is phenomenally short. But I think that's to do with practice and wanting to stamp a mark on the area quickly rather than perfectly."We're not f*cking Burundi" - Big Phil

Always find that off putting. I look at the camera so that it appears I'm looking at their eyes, but that's also off putting.I hold silver in tit for tat, and I love you for that
