On Tuesday I reached out to a colleague to congratulate them on their new promotion to full professor . Today they wrote to tell me that they are being made redundant. Imagine - being promoted and sacked in the same week, which also happens to be the week before Christmas 🎄

I discovered it’s tricky to complain to the abc when a journalist rips off your work. There is an online form but no email address to get in touch with an editor. So I guess my complaint is buried under a pile of emails from monarchists complaining about coronation coverage.

I nominated myself for a prize and won! Books and glory! I’m going to print out a copy of this certificate and stick it on Mum’s fridge.
