Nothing New To Report
No word from the hiring (or perhaps "not-hiring") university, which is starting to worry me. I'm finding myself remarkably OK with the idea of not getting the job. It's going to sting, getting that phone-call, but it's going to be bearable in the long run, I think. Sure, I want the job--I want it badly, but, I don't know, I'm getting better about understanding how random and indifferent the job market is, and how taking things personally just misses the true nature of things. Either that, or I'm in the most beautiful state of denial, and why would I want to mess with that? Right?

Keep in mind you may have been the first of three or four candidates spread out over two, maybe three, weeks... Fingers still crossed...

Absolutely. Why encourage upheaval in your current zen-like state? I'm still holding out for good news. And it appears that people connected to me have amazing success on the job market - found out today a friend was offered a job the day of her interview. So, stick with me, kid.
I feel you, believe me. But it IS random, this fucked up job market, and you can never tell from one year to the next.
(As they say on Wall Street: past performance is no guarantee of future results.)
Yeah, zen is good... but I learned a while back: holding your breath just makes you turn purple. Keep up the attitude; it does us all good.
And ABDme... over here... hey, over here! Rub some of that luck on me, okay?
