Fly Free to France in Jet-Lag Gig


Hey! Would you like to travel to France for free?


If you have some spare time on your hands, a research firm wants to fly you to France and study your jet-lagged brain cells. Sounds intriguing, n'est-ce pas?


View the entire announcement here.


Hmmm. Do they allow layovers in Paris?


Check out their website for more information.

  2. 60: That's fabulous1 Let me know what happens. But wait --you're never cranky, are you?

    Anyway, glad you took the plunge. You're so adventurous! And what a great story it will make. More than blogworthy, definitely a feature somewhere.

    I didn't apply, just bc I'm still in the settling-in mode, moving to a real house and and and.

    And today: frozen pipes.

  3. "There is no opportunity to leave the study center premises in France or tour France before returning home...." =(

  4. I knew it was too good to be true. But you're right, it would make a great story.

  6. Gee, I wish I had the time to do it. It could be a fun story to tell -- "Oh, I just got back from a quick trip to France!!" -- and then with that nice stipend in your pocket (not bad for 5 days IMHO), you could afford to turn around and head back for a real trip to France, and experience independent jet-lag!

  7. Hope your pipes have defrosted!

    I did OK the two times we went. But that was when I could take a carry on full of liters of water to stay hydrated. For sure I would be cranky with jetlag now.

    Can't leave the premises? Must be some in depth study. Being cranky and all... That would be an inconvenience. But I like your "quick trip" parlay.
