I think my interview went OK, but I don't know. Guess I can just wait and see now.
Xander: Just once I'd like to run into a cult of bunny worshippers. Anya: Great. Thank you very much for those nightmares.

[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

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
That's very sweet, Daniel, but I do hope your heart shows up!

Silly doctors, don't they know I gave my heart to Andi several years ago?
Awwww.

I have no idea what to tell my current department head. They said they won't have an answer about who they're hiring for another two or three weeks.

Why do you have to tell him anything? He's not telling you anything useful.

I told him that I'd let him know by May 1 whether I was accepting the offer to stay or not.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Can you give a conditional yes? Is the other schools offering tenure track, and PS not? I can't imagine they would begrudge you for backing out for a better job, unless they want to match the offer.

Usually, I recommend doing a ton of networking before the resume is submitted such that it gets into the hands of someone who can shepherd the paper into the right hands.
Stupid networking. That's what always gets me!
Networking, it turns out, is hard when you don't know people outside of work for the most part. Or outside the intertubes.
Funny, though: I joined some netgroups where I knew people after the tech crash in hopes of doing some networking (failed, as no one else had a job, either), and as a result, found out where the Salon Buffy discussions had gone (World Crossing), and while I didn't get a job from it, hey! I got this place!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I was explaining something post-CA2 and said, basically, "I have my people. And the Internet. Which are, oftentimes, made of the same things."

Agh. So frustrating.
Networking can be hard, for sure.
It's cool that you found this community that way though. What a beautiful tradeoff.
