ND got picked up at his hotel by the committee about a half an hour ago. Man, they have him scheduled tonight and ALL day tomorrow, from breakfast at 8AM until a tech rehearsal that goes until 10PM. It's down to only 2-3 final professor candidates, though, and this is tenure-track...so I guess they want to make damned good and sure they pick the right person.
I so want him to get this job. The commute will suck for one or both of us, but I think it's a really good match for him. Plus, not having to worry about his lack of health benefits anymore would be a blessing.
Oof, that's a brutal interview schedule, but it means they're extremely serious and extremely interested. ND gets all the job~ma I've got.
All the rest of my ~ma is headed eastward to vw.
Oh yes. Lots of ~ma to vw for sure.
Oh ick. I really should not have ventured past an Easter display with PMS. That Cadbury Egg seemed like such a good idea at the time. Blech.

This is a typical interview schedule for a tenure track position. It's a potentially lifelong position, so it's important that both the department and the candidate have all of the information that they need. Most of the time is the department trying to sell the opportunity. They're already familiar with the candidate's work.
Cadbury Egg
Oh, no. Must. Resist.
Darn you, wee Kristin. I had been able to ignore their likely increased availability, but now you have dashed that to bits.
In school news, I'm just finishing my Part I Financial Accounting class. I've had fun. I like playing with numbers. But almost everyone else in class is struggling. It makes me want to giggle. I am not a nice person.
Rick, yep, we know. It's not a done deal until it's done, though, so we're still keeping fingers and toes crossed.

I'm sorry, Suzi! If it's any consolation, it will probably only take one to tide you over for another year. I've definitely hit my quota.
8AM
Actually breakfast is at 7:30. Dinner went well. It was the head of the sound program (Who was my mentor and who is pushing for me to get this job) and two other professors. I think was a good dinner.
Now I'm going to go through my Keynote display for my portfolio presentation tomorrow afternoon and obsess about that for a bit.
Good luck tomorrow, ND.
(Was that egg one of the new orange flavored Cadbury eggs?)
