The lady in front of me in the queue has just ordered a small decaf soya-milk latte.

Thirty-one years ago today I gave my dear old dad a kidney. As we do every year, we’ve just had a drink together to mark the anniversary 🍻

It’s utter nonsense, isn’t it? And yet they often won’t process an application without the accompanying references. The entire business drives me insane.

I wish academic life would rethink its reliance upon letters of reference. They’re extremely time-consuming to write and, almost by nature, given to exaggeration and half-truths. In my experience, they’re also often blithely disregarded by those making the decisions. A waste of everyone’s time.
