Congrats, chaud!!! :)
I... well, I didn't. But at least the waiting is over, I guess. And at least they apologised in their email for the long wait. Oddly, I feel better now than when I was being strung along.

Don't do it, humanist! Step away from the phone/keyboard.
Congrats Chaud!

I won't. Thanks. Just whining. Maybe I should just do laundry. Oh! The mail is here. Wonder if there's a rejection letter... <puts laptop down to get mail and put in new load of laundry> |

Go Chaud! That's amazing!
Now, for the rest of us... remain calm... stop looking at that phone... think happy thoughts...

HA HA HA. I would hate to have someone record the way I sound these days always with new bitter stories about the job market. |

Today marks two weeks past the deadline for Dream Postdoc. I'm starting to twitch. Have they shortlisted? Not even met as a committee yet? There's no postdoc wiki in my field.
I'm amazed at how little patience I have after the fall/winter round of job waiting. I'm fresh out. Jeeze.

I'm sorry alwaysanon. Last year I was rejected by my Dream U (and others).
Also sorry to those who haven't heard. I agree that it's better to know, even if it's bad news.

This one goes out to all the waiters out there. Alicia Keys covered Prince's classic "How Come You Don't Call Me?" I think it's fitting for the job search too: Why oh why can't you just pick up the phone?! You know I don't like to be alone. (Why you wanna torture me?) All I know is, baby, what we had was good. How come you don't call me... anymore? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNy8PQbVxwE |

The Replacements' 'Answering Machine.' Could've been written for this very occasion:
Try to breathe some life into a letter
Losing hope, never gonna be together
My courage is at it's peak
You know what I mean
How do say you're O.K. to
An answering machine?
How do you say good night to
An answering machine?
Big time's got its losers
Small town's got its vices
A handful of friends
One needs a match, one needs some ice
Call-waiting phone in another time zone
How do you say I miss you to
An answering machine?
How do say good night to
An answering machine?
I get enough of that
Try to free a slave with ignorance
Try and teach a whore about romance
How do you say I miss you to
An answering machine?
How do you say good night to
An answering machine?
How do you say I'm lonely to
An answering machine?
The message is very plain
Oh, I hate your answering machine
I hate your answering machine
I hate your answering machine...
