a recent chance 're-encounter' with an old friend has me thinking about the past ten years.

in 1995 i started a staggering lurch away from ict towards law-ing.

it was along stagger.

i left contract/consulting work to do user-support part-time for food (literally for food) for two years. then i took a casual contract as systems admin in my (newish) law school for 6 months. from then, i've done a smattering of contracts with ict components - including systems analysis, and a consultancy with a group working on a streaming video-to-dvd prototype.


now i'm  applying applying to do tutoring in comp sci/info sys at unisa.

and suddenly i'm thinking, hey - that'd be cool. [even cooler to get a job as a junior academic.]


i haven't felt so alive in ages.


wonder what the chances are of working a tutoring job into an assoc lecturing one?
