"And it brings up a lot of conflicted feelings including imposter syndrome and "do I want this stress in my life?" "
It's an intense period of self-exposure, and most decent people dread it (there are some unreflective jerks who enjoy the attention), but at least it is the last time you will ever have to go through it on the job. Imposter syndrome is the mark of a careful thinker.
Thanks for the support. I am sure it will be exciting when and if it comes to pass. But... slow road, so about 2 years away, and A LOT of work to do between now and when I apply. But yes, mostly this is a good thing, or will be a good thing.
I hate the word seminal. Noam Chomsky is here giving a talk on his seminal work.
On the brighter side there is now a precedent that may be the beginning of the end for HB2. Maybe. I hope.

A guy who cannot stand my boss and is also drunk alla time just got re-assigned to our team. Oh, I foresee lively weekly meetings now. (He's a high-functioning addict with zero incentive to do anything about it. But he does a great job, somehow.)

Ovarial would sound nicer. Is Chomsky a good speaker?

Tony Stark is on your team?

My thoughts went to Peter O'Toole.
I was going to say my brother, but then we joke about shit like that in our family. Plus he's been sober for 8 weeks exactly as of today, so I guess he no longer qualifies for Tony Stark status.
Oh! Exciting news! There's one more great-nephew on the way right now! I just saw on FB that Tim's niece is at the hospital and is in labor with baby #2. So exciting!
And what's totally weird but I swear I'm not making up is that last night I dreamed about holding a baby and trying to teach it a basic vocabulary. (It was like a 3-month-old, so dream!me was pretty optimistic.)
