I absolutely MUST have my eyeliner and mascara or I can't function. It's only been now in my older age that I can sometimes manage to go to buy my groceries without make-up on, but even then I would leave my cart to run and hide if I saw somebody I knew.<BR/><BR/>I am envious of all your travelling! I think it just costs so much more from Australia so its harder to organise and fund. I did go to an amazing feminist conference in Bologna once, a cyberspace conference in Newcastle, UK, and later this year it will be *drum roll* Miami in the US!! Yay!! But there have been about 5 years between each of them!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8761893.post-1117976320407980192005-06-05T12:58:00.000+00:002005-06-05T12:58:00.000+00:00No, we don't get a pay cut. maybe they do get paid...No, we don't get a pay cut. <BR/>maybe they do get paid more. Trois tetes has a friend in the states who works at The Medical University of South Carolina in micro biology.He gets paid much more than I do, but then maybe he is in the right department and maybe he is promoted quite high ... dunno.<BR/>But I would not take a sabbatical if it meant a pay cut, no way!!Joolzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07764771025537899267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8761893.post-1117972984706731312005-06-05T12:03:00.000+00:002005-06-05T12:03:00.000+00:00No, no pay cut!

I was counting up last night how much money I'd had to spend on my recent conferences - even with other people paying airfares and accommodation, there's still the massive costs of: taxis, conference registrations, conference dinners, food in general, casual drinks with colleagues. Conferences are costly even if they are "free".<BR/><BR/>And I would loooooove to spend the entire 6 months of my sabbatical visiting colleagues and attending conferences all around the world, but I have a very small budget and can afford one international conference and that is it. I am very grateful I have the chance to do it, but most of my colleagues go off and spend their entire sabbaticals overseas. I don't know how they manage.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
