I woke up after a dream that my dream job (which I recently interviewed for) was canceled due to lack of funding. Argh!! My poor SO wishes I would think about something else for a while. . .
At least yours was only a dream. It actually happened to me, just before I applied. I saw the ad on a Friday, spent the weekend preparing materials, and by Monday, the ad had disappeared. I called to check and the funding for the position had been revoked. The job was at my undergrad university in a town I grew to love while I was in school. It involved working with technology, which is perfect for me. And my in-laws live there...this could go either way.
Sigh...I suppose it's better that the job disappeared before they filled it. It would be terrible to get a great new job, only to have to find another one very quickly.
