Calling all cheerleaders!

Less than 12 hours ago I arrived in Baton Rouge from my tour as a visiting lecturer in Austria (more later).  But there's no rest for the weary.  There are officially 189 days until January 21, 2011, the day I will be officially unemployed due to budget cuts at Louisiana State University.  And there are grants to apply for, job opportunities to suss out, articles to write, classes to teach and schemes to be devised.  I really could use a cheering section right now!  So grab your vuvuzela and follow my progress, here on Dasein ist köstlich
