Hawk Wings blogger gets promoted, de-fellowed
Thursday, December 14th, 2006
For the last eighteen months I have had a delightfully relaxed life, employed only part-time as a research fellow. So I’ve been able to do freelancing as an IT journalist 
and to run Hawk Wings, to “top and tail” the day with the kids, read books and get my Latin back into shape.
But a few days ago, the college where I work made me an offer I couldn’t refuse.
As a result, from 1 January onwards, I’ll be working full-time. I still get to teach Greek and supervise research students (which is nice), but will also get to enjoy the Gordian knot (Wikipedia ) of administrative and higher education policy duties appropriate to a “Research and Executive Officer”.
It’s too early to say what this means for Hawk Wings. I have high hopes.
At the very least, it will give me a chance really to put my “Getting Things Done with Mail.app” system through the wringer.
And I’ll be able to do it fast. The job comes with a sweetner—the promise of a spanking brand new Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro after Leopard is released.
