00:00 - 00:03 | The Scandinavian Studies Job interviews have taken place.. |
00:04 - 00:05 | Interviews have taken place in locations around the campus |
00:05 - 00:07 | namely here and here. |
00:08 - 00:12 | Our entire credibility hangs on selecting the right candidate |
00:12 - 00:15 | otherwise we might as well start accrediting courses in Appalachian clog dancing. |
00:17 - 00:19 | It's ok; the committee will surely select Barraclough |
00:19 - 00:21 | and every thing will be fine. |
00:24 - 00:26 | Boss... |
00:27 - 00:28 | Barraclough... |
00:31 - 00:33 | Barraclogh wasn't chosen by the committee. |
00:34 - 00:36 | We're not really sure how this happened |
00:53 - 00:58 | Everyone leave the room. Thomson, Antonsson, Hansen remain. |
01:13 - 01:15 | What the fuck happened? |
01:15 - 01:17 | Barraclough was clearly the best person for the job! |
01:18 - 01:23 | Didn't anyone read the god-damned course proposals? She had Moomin trolls! |
01:25 - 01:28 | What do they think is going to happen? |
01:29 - 01:31 | We're fucked now! |
01:31 - 01:34 | Look what happened to the red bricks. |
01:34 - 01:37 | Hijacked by corporate interests! |
01:37 - 01:40 | Sheep asking to be led to the slaughter |
01:40 - 01:42 | Boss, Human Resources felt very strongly that... |
01:42 - 01:46 | Who the hell listens to the jackasses in Human Resources anyway? |
01:46 - 01:48 | Sir, they are frustrated and looking for recognition |
01:48 - 01:52 | They'll get recognition, with the pointy end of my pencil. |
01:53 - 01:54 | You disapoint me. |
01:56 - 01:57 | The same shit as usual |
01:57 - 02:00 | "Customer Focused" "Thank your for taking the time to apply" |
02:00 - 02:03 | "May we wish you well in the future?" |
02:04 - 02:08 | Are you kidding me? We need a long-term plan for this university |
02:08 - 02:13 | and we're not even appointing the best people for the jobs |
02:14 - 02:16 | God we nearly had her! |
02:17 - 02:21 | And you couldn't even set up a committe to get the job done - I might as well have asked Stalin! |
02:27 - 02:29 | All I wanted was someone to work with |
02:30 - 02:34 | a kindred spirit to make me feel empowered. |
02:34 - 02:36 | Is that really so much to ask? |
02:41 - 02:42 | Barraclough would have been ideal... |
02:43 - 02:47 | someone I could have shared my love of trolls with and maybe S&M too... |
02:48 - 02:53 | ...and instead I'm left here isolated and alone |
02:54 - 02:56 | Someone is going to pay. |
02:56 - 02:59 | And I'm not talking about money either. |
03:00 - 03:02 | They'll pay in pastries and cinnamon buns! |
03:04 - 03:07 | It's ok - we can do a postgrad elsewhere |
03:14 - 03:16 | No Supernatural North... |
03:19 - 03:23 | No Maps Marvels and Monsters either... |
03:25 - 03:26 | Unbelievable. |
03:31 - 03:33 | Our REF return is fucked. |
03:40 - 03:46 | But if any of you little apple smellers think this is the end |
03:46 - 03:49 | well I'm still giving From the Frozen North as everyone's Christmas present. |
03:53 - 03:56 | 40m coppies; paperback. |
