      I’d either chose less marking or less meetings!
      I don’t like sitting down for too long & some meetings go around in circles and never quite get to a solution.

      I would make my job permanent 😉 At the moment, my job gets renewed every year, and that can be quite stressful!

      This is normal when you start being a university scientist, you have to work for a few years first like this, and then you can apply for permanent jobs at a university. It can be different if you want to work in a company as a scientist, often there you can get a permanent job straight away.
