The solution--in my head--is that one of the other candidates gets accepted for their first-choice job and takes that instead. Everybody wins!

[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.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Job~ma, Hil. Being third out of thousands, as someone has said above, is fantastic. Here's hoping one of the other two decide not to take the job. Also, I hope your dissertation's going well.
Hang in there, Shir. That sounds VERY irritating - but you really will get to the point where the rest of your classmates catch up with you. If only at post-grad level (but I hope it happens for you before that).

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Someone on other forum just accused me of lying, because I described something that once happened to me, and he doesn't believe it because it's never happened to him. Must stay calm and step away. I do not need to get stressed about stupid things.
You really don't. Go have some ice cream!
...That is pretty much my solution to everything.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
...this is new. Beginnings of a panic attack, and my feet are getting numb. Usually it's my hands.
I'm not sure I can keep anything down at the moment, but I've got ice cream for later if I want it then.

I did not get the job with the nuns. It is probably for the best, though.

Oh Hil. Feel better. Everyone on this board (even those of us for whom tact is something you use to nail down carpets) are 100% behind you and well wishing you right now. At some other point I will comment on Thomas. My opinion is, for me, unusually nuanced.

I'd be interested in hearing your opinion.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
No nun job. Sad.
I am satisfied with my summer adjunct gig at the tech college, but I think I will start sending out resumes to more traditional colleges in the area to try to get a more traditional freshmen comp course, or even a -- please dog -- lit course for the fall. I think I would have a pretty good shot at UMKC, since I have taught there, and still know several people on the faculty there. And there's Park U., and the Metropolitant Community Colleges..
It's so BORING teaching writing without being able to assign readings, just chapters from a text on critical thinking. I miss talking about words and characters.
