Silly Girl!
Yesterday, I replied to an email of my friend and today he wrote back. I am publishing it as I really appreciate his bluntness and being direct, also a good laughter material (apart from the first and the last bit).
To my “happy to hear you are doing well”, he replied: “Did it seem that things are going well?! Sorry, that wasn’t intended! I’m up to my eyeballs in debt, I hate not seeing (the name of his girlfriend) and my career prospects are almost non-existent!“.
About jobs in academia: “Academia is a good career if you can get your foot in the door, but it takes so much persistence over such a long period of time that it seems that you have to be single, relatively friendless, and willing to tolerate a scandalously low salary and huge job instability!!!”
And to me, saying that Lillian is my favourite “Playing the Angel” song: “Lillian is ruuuuuubbish! It’s very catchy, but it’s definitely one of the worst songs on the album! Silly girl 
“.
He concluded: “OK, I have to write another job application now :/”
My dear friend (who is reading this from time to time so will know that’s him), I wish you all the best and I hope that things will get better for you soon. But, I will send you an email and tell you what you have to hear about Lillian being rubbish;))

Every single one of your readers is now looking at the emails they’ve sent you in case there’s something embarrassing you might publish, ha ha!
