Oh, bebe, you poor thing. Hope the night isn't too bad....
Schulte, at you crying in, into or anywhere near your curry. This motherhood/work (zork? ) thing is rough.
I don't think you can help, BB, though I'm tempted to take you up on your offer and send you a few applications to judge. Given the amount of time I'll be able to devote to each one, they might as well be in a language I'd not used for several years.
No colleagues can do the application assessments for me; another of Sarkozy's shitty reforms has 'improved' the recruitment procedure and made it almost unworkable, hence the daft calendar with the deadline for submissions coinciding with Easter holidays, leaving us with one week to do the assessments and shortlist candidates for interview. The members of the panel had to be approved by the university's 'scientific council', and there don't seem to be any replacement or substitute members.
