I don't know, would have to pay something, dream is to work for Cricinfo or Wisden or somewhere with similarly amazing cricket resources to draw from. I want to compile the more obscure kinds of statistics, those which are not currently accessible.

I am not all that interested in making heaps of money, I just want to get by and be happy. I will also write a few books, might make some money off those. Also might not. If I marry a rich guy, then I'm set, but I won't pursue that sort of thing

They denied my request to defer today's exam the f**kers

Will put in for special con for all three tomorrow instead to see how that goes.

i wouldn't have thought a cricket statistician pays all that well?

Would be nice to get paid to watch and research cricket.

If Hal gets to live his dream I for one would be somewhat envious.

Good luck with it mate.

Halatia is female...

 

[Mong]

They all look the same to me

 

[Hallatia]

you must be blind then. I am hoping to use my being female to help me get a job in that field (I'm even prepared to use my big boobies to help me if I have to)

Even as a joke that's not funny, pretty chauvinistic thing to say really. Using your sexuality to get a job is a cop out. It's like saying you don't have the or knowledge, to get by.

No you shut up, it's a geniused thing to say, people using their sexuality to get a job is something that could cost you in the future you realise. How would you feel if you lost out on a job to someone less qualified than you just because they put out or wore a tight fitting top or whatever?

It's a serious issue with our society, it degrades women and men.

 

[Hallatia]

it's not my sexuality, it's my appearance, there's a difference and anybody wanting a job where they will be seen has to expect their appearance to be regarded

Bewbz!

Oh dear #-o... She was obviously joking, but hey by all means, go on a rant.

 

[Cliffhanger]

Yes but joking about it still perpetuates the stereotypes and adds to this whole mentality that women use their sexuality to get ahead in their jobs. That's what I am protesting here, too many men seem to be under the impression that chicks don't earn their promotions or their jobs. Why make an affordance for that type of mentality?

 

[Didgi]

If you're going to get insulted at everything that perpetuates a stereotype I suggest you get off the internet.

how can they deny your request? you had a very valid reason.. i would be seeking higher authority if you end up getting a poor mark because of it

 

[Shorty]

No you shut up

A few reasons, very black and white interpretation of it all. I will take the extra 5% that comes with special consideration if they give that to me. If not, it's not a massive deal, I won't get what I wanted but its one of those things that happens when you have kids while at uni.

I won't make a fuss about it, unless I happened to have really f*cked it up today of course

Doing 5 subjects a semester?

 

[Apey]

yeah I had my first fail last year. there are a few of us repeating from last year in what was already a small class, lol.

I have to do 5 next semester as well but that's my own dumb fault for not fulfilling graduation requirements sooner.
