Thanks, omnis.
Waiting is boring. I don't want to do work while waiting, because I know that I'll keep thinking about the work after the interview starts, and I'll get distracted.
Don't worry, I'm not gonna start any sword fights. I'm over that phase.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Yes, good luck, Hil! You got the Bitchly cheering squad behind you, don't forget.

Interview is over. That one went MUCH better than my last one. I had answers to pretty much all of their questions (except for "How would you explain your dissertation to a physicist?" which threw me for a bit of a loop, but I was able to remember a few physics connections), and it's a HBCU, and they specifically asked about my experiences volunteering in New Orleans public schools in relation to that. (I don't think I'd even mentioned that on my application, but they asked about the age range of students I've taught, and the youngest have been fourth graders in New Orleans, so I mentioned that as the lower end of the age range, and then the next several questions were about teaching in New Orleans.) They said they'd get back to me on Monday or Tuesday about whether I'm going on to the next round of interviews.
Now, I need to get dressed, get lunch, and go write a thank you email and do some math.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yay Hil! on the interview!

Yay for the interview, Hil!
You know, reading this thread is a constant reminder to how different is the work culture in the U.S. than here. Thank you notes for interviews sounds like outer-space fiction to me.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Interesting...not doing them sounds like fiction to me. After an interview, do you do any sort of follow-up?

Hardly at all. Mostly, they'll call you if you got the job. If not, they won't.
