Strange how things are turning out in the last couple of hours.

Came across an advert whilst perusing various lists for jobs. Its at Imperial, non-academic but challenging and doesn't pay much either (well... maybe eye poppingly mucho in SGD, but probably average or below in sterling). I thought of giving it a go as postdocs in my field are rather thin on the ground (actually saw one in Otago; phylogeography in marine inverts, my kind of thing.. but but.. its so ulu!). Emailed PC to ask if I can stick his name as a referee and he replied in the affirmative along with an invitation to write up a grant application for a position in the Museum.

Interesting. I won't hold my breath, but I think at least I have a couple of leads now, as opposed to fretting about what i ought to do with my life next. I won't bore you what goes on in my head. I tend to want to keep these things to myself nowadays.
