New Job at Mt Isa


Well, I have finished honours. I have a short term contract logging core at Mt Isa in Queensland (Australia). Something to help me get out the hole of “poor very broke student” (it will be paying my trip to Helsinki) and give me time to decide on what I want to do for the next few years. This may cause some problems for the Vulgar Army/Cat’s Paw projects as I am not sure what the internet access is like on site (I think I am living on site). I’m assured there is some potential for internet access. I will post when I find out (assuming I have internet access of course).

 

Misbegotten

Well, I handed in my thesis today: “The Volcanic, Metamorphic and Structural Architecture of the Prospero-Tapinos Ni-Sulfide Host Succession, Western Australia”. It has been an exhausting year, one I never, ever want to repeat. But it is over now. My thesis can basically be described as a picture book with some text to go with it. It looks huge but the thesis itself is only 65 pages. Most of the bulk is the 150+ page appendix at the back.

So, in honour of this moment, I thought I might use the meme of book photos and the grog that should be drunken with it.

I couldn’t find anything more toxic than metho. Although there are a few bottles of 10% HCl solution about but they’re not alcoholic.
