Have another one here, actually from the 13th!

“Flossie’s introduction/artist’s talk to her installation B, B and B’s at Maryborough was insightful and entertaining and added extra enjoyment to visiting the arts gallery.” Anon.

It was expected that I would hear from the university about the Lecturer position – in Education (Visual Art) within the week. I had had the interview with seemingly good results but…the position was not offered to me. Too bad. It would have combined much of my experience to date – as visual art practitioner, educator, academic, researcher and teacher to art teachers. I was so keen and excited to think that what I know could be worth something on the open market. Sure, it would have complicated things in my personal life to live interstate with my job and commute home. Sure, it would have complicated the year’s Tour of B, B & B. But it would have been such fun to be able to invest myself in what I value in a job… insight into art to people who can make this insight real to others in their communities too.

If you were considering offering a job (as described above) to the person (described above and pictured below), wouldn’t you have thought you had found the ideal prospect? Instead, I am short listed but rejected for reasons still unknown to me.

What’s not to like?
