On the 2nd occasion I had an exit interview w/ my boss. He said I was let go partly b/c I "was difficult to work with". I said "If by being difficult, you mean-" He held up a finger & said, "That's *exactly* what I mean."

Cuts to science. The mothballing of facilities & loss of jobs leading to a brain-drain that'll cost the UK & benefit others. How bloody short-sighted do they want to be?

We were totally starstruck, either babbling away (her) or struck dumb (me), but despite that (he was probably used to it) he spent a few minutes chatting with us & was an absolute gent.
