I just got two rejections from the same school. Guess they really don't want me. (It wasn't a place where I'd interviewed -- I sent them my application months ago and hadn't heard from them again.)
Seems like everyone's got a tale to tell.

Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[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.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
So, basically, "In case you hadn't already guessed..." followed by "just in case we forgot to mention it..."? Fuck the academic job market, mang.

Well, it did include, "For what it is worth, this was the most impressive field of candidates I can remember." Several rejections have had something similar.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Hello. Back from NO.
Shir, my dear, my heart is with you. I'm so sorry.
I am coming down from my adrenaline high. Back to work and worries and reality. And I'm pretty sure that I'm breaking up with D tomorrow. He was just super needy this week and I'm starting to learn that he's emotionally manipulative in a very Eeyore way. ::sigh::
I missed my Bitches. I read every post, even if I didn't do a massive meara.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
{{{{smonster}}}} I'm sorry it didn't work out with D.

All is well that ends in pizza.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
the "everyone" e-mail has been released to work. It is no longer a secret. Whew. Now to face the barrage of questions a million times.

And I think it is time for our AndyCat. He just seems to be confused.He knows us and our voices, but he really isn't himself. If he doesn't chose to go before than, I think it is tomorrow evening.

Good luck, omnis. You're doing the right thing, don't forget it.

Lou made it through the night, but hardly ate his yogurt-with-drugs this morning, not to mention his food. When I looked into his bowl, I saw little bit of blood. But damn, I was so happy to go downstairs and find him alive this morning. He's still waggling his tail when he sees me, but he must feel uncomfortable.
I'll try and insist on the "remember we said we won't let him suffer?" today, and expect The Call later today, or tomorrow.
This still doesn't feel real, in a way similar to the "Gosh, I'm hope I'm not overreacting" feeling I have.
