it's not bad. but the job linked to above is awesome. everything about it appeals to me except for the sailing. and i can sail, i just don't like it. i'd rather row. but exploring islands, discovering wildlife, blogging the world about it, the whole thing sounds incredible.

well loosely the job is about promoting the islands and the area, so perhaps some vague experience of marketing/talking to people on a mass scale.

i'm employed and had an open discussion in the office about applying for this. on a six month contract they would probably let me have a sabbatical for something like this.

psymon, are you saying you'd prefer to sit in an office in london editing porn, to doing 12 horus work a month on a sundrenched beautiful desert island, and getting paid a shed load to do it?

But you will agree that porn does take up a rather large chunk of your work?
