We lost our first choice post-doc to another institution this year as well. I had scouted the guy out two years ago (!) and was quite disappointed. The guy we did hire is very good as well, but I will not interact with him very strongly. It is perfectly OK to drink before 6! Clifford, Sorry to hear the news.

Henry Holland: - Ha Ha, LOL! That's good! :-D No, if I had my car, the misalignment of the day would mean that I would have had got stuck in traffic, or had a very expensive accident. Bike and bus was really the best option..... (oh, it's not boozing -for the impressionable young folk listening- it was just the one drink. I'm back onto the coffee now....) Cheers, -cvj Moshe, Mark, thanks!

I say definitely waive your rule (it's after 6 here). As you say, dust yourself off. Not everyone will go to the kind of lengths you meant to, so over time, as you know, you'll be more successful by exploring all these avenues. We all understand this Clifford – bad luck!
