I present the blog of the curator of the diptera collection of the British Museum. While reading, I found myself thinking that we will never have this... frown.gif

Russian (also known as Belarusian and Ukrainian) folk tale... But there is someone to learn from (in terms of organizing the museum). Peter the Great is just missing.

In Britain, colleagues are now waiting with horror for cuts. Including permanent positions (!!!).

In Britain, colleagues are now waiting with horror for cuts. Including permanent positions (!!!).

And the reduction is not the first. Curators of collections already have an incredible amount of work to do. I know one lady guardian: the salary is quite modest, but a good pension. She is about to leave, and it is extremely difficult to find a qualified employee to replace her.

What can you personally learn from them? What's stopping you from doing what we do? smile.gif

In Britain, the pension is very small compared to Germany, even, just people are not so greedy, greedy and fat hoarders and liars + aggressive belittlers of the merits of others, as in the States, for example.

This is a rather cold society, but most people still have a sense of duty. And the inner core. IMHO. In Holland and Germany, more, but there is already insanity of decency. smile.gif

P.S. I worked here for two years at the factory while I was looking for a job in science during the crisis - so I have the right to say-here.

Here is still would you learn to respect copyright, not to connect topics without notice and permission of the author, to respect yourself, to squeeze out Chekhov's slave - that's when it will be quite good. But this is already a very long process. smile.gif And without me.

Goodbye, unwashed Russia!

You need to work. smile.gif And I have already been deceived several times in the Russian Federation - the government and the presidents are numerous, I will have enough for a long time.

As examples, from today's British newspaper, for example, such as MK or whatever, I read there first, links are just here to different sources:

Come in, but it's not cheep! Homeowner charges £5 a time after 500 twitchers turn up to see rare bird on his garden fence

The owner gave all the money to the bird fund or whatever it is for the protection of birds.


And this is about respect:
Boss who paraded thief employee pays £13k compensation

Flooring company boss Simon Cremer, who paraded a thieving worker through the streets, has been forced to pay £13,000 for humiliating him.

Not here with your tongue. The problem of the society of everything.

And I decided, in a sinful way, that we were finally back on track and that it was my turn to fill the vacant position of curator of the British Museum.

Who knows where it is better. Who needs what. My friend lives in a hut in the forest and is happy. Another went to the states - not a single positive letter. Well, we're talking about the eternal again...

Actually, this is the diary of a friend from the Museum of Natural History, the title of the topic is incorrect.

The British Museum has historical collections. National History Museum Vacancies:

Only there are really enthusiasts and a small salary.

Wild Yuri - +1.5 points, that is. smile.gif
