New Job Rumpus

Just signed contract for my new job. I’m now the manager of the Centre for Applied Cross-Cultural Research at Victoria University, very conveniently located in the same department where I’m doing my Masters.
So the freelance gigs and casual stuff are now thoroughly on the backburner. I start Monday. It’s only part-time of course but, yeah. New job! Neato.
I shall be celebrating on Saturday night at Rumpus 08: Rumpus vs Episode. You should come too, if you are in Wellington this weekend. The Rumpletron lives again!
(Have I ever admitted that the name Rumpus comes, not from Where The Wild Things Are, but from Miller’s Crossing?)

  1. lol gratz nub l2p, as my World of Warcraft guildmates would say.
    Seriously, well done old chap. A well-deserved recognition of your many talents.

  2. Congratulations of the new job!
    In my mind Rumpuses are always to do with partying Wild Things. What is the Miller’s Crossing reference?

  3. Thanks all. Giff: good question. I just keep on pushing, as the saying goes… Debz: in Miller’s Crossing, all the Coen Bros. tough guys talk in this highly stylised patois, like coming into a room and asking “What’s the rumpus?” for “Any news?”
