vw, I'm glad the nice doctor boy finally got back to you.
ND, it's very likely that if they want to make you an offer you'll get a preliminary call that goes something like, "We're not making this offer but if we were to make you this offer would you accept?" because it's not worth their time to go all the way through the UC system just to have you turn something down, and that will be the point where you say, "Give me mo' money!". Because of the way UC salaries work, it's VERY IMPORTANT that you get appointed at the highest level possible because you're locked in after that. After that preliminary call, there will be another wait until you actually see something in writing.
And then they'll tell you about the loyalty oath that you have to sign.
Signed,
Been hired by UC, Sat on Search Committees for UC, Sat on the Peer Review Committee for UC, etc.
You may hear from me in email once I get going on my next essay AND annotated bibliography!
Not a problem. I have a pretty good list of resources from my past papers, too.

Is that the one where they make you join the Liberal Secular Humanist Pagan Plot to Destroy America?

Liberal Secular Humanist Feminist Homosexual Pagan Plot to Destroy America, actually. Too bad they never made the gov. Arnold sign it.

Oops - I knew I was forgetting stuff....
Brain drugs are interesting things. Hubby's been dealing with perfectly understandable depression due to the pain etc., and he was on Zoloft for awhile. It did nothing for him. He's been on a new one--utter brain wipe on the name--for a bit over a week, and people who talk to him less than once a week are saying, "Wow, what's got you in such a good mood all of a sudden?" He's dealing with some physical side effects, but he said he's more than happy to put up with them for having the gut ripping despair lifted.
I just don't want to hear my husband cry anymore. Yay, drugs.

YES. That is how I got screwed in my current job here. Of course, they never actually offered me to job officially, just put the paperwork in and expected me to be happy, but I digress.
Vortex have you heard anything from any of the resumes you sent out? And, while you're here, got any play time this weekend?
Suzi, that story about K getting bit on the tush is too funny.

Yes! I'm so glad for him Connie.
It's just finding that right one, that's tricky. They treat anxiety and panic disorders with SSRI anti-depressants. I don't seem to be clinically depressed, and I can't help but wonder if that wasn't some of my problem with the Celexa -- if it lifted me too much.

this weekend is horrible, I've got high school students visiting. While I am in DESPERATE need of a cocktail, alas I am not free. Maybe next week?
