I've had it up to here with self-pity. So let's get rid of that old post.
My wife has put my Christmas present under the tree. It's big and heavy. I have some ideas about what it might be, but she's mum on hints. This is because one year I guessed my present and tricked her into telling me what it was. So now she's a total pain in the ass about it. It drives me up the wall....
I'm gonna go poke on it somewhere, to gather data. I have a *hypothesis* about what it is ... but nothing concrete.

Re: your previous journal entry . . . It's such a bad time to be looking for a job right now. Really sucks, I feel for you. And institutions are often sooooo bad about interviewing etiquette. When I was a post-doc, I applied to my former grad school when they advertised a position. They didn't even interview me, and what's worse, they never even gave me a courtesy phone call or email to say something like "thanks for applying but you're not quite what we're looking for right now." I mean hellllooooo, I was one of their best students. My research won this huge award for them, they have the plaque with my name on it hanging in the conference room. But I wasn't worth a courtesy phone call or email?? So bizarre.
I think it's an EXCELLENT idea to have a Plan B such as yours. Who knows, you might like the "real world" better. You'll likely get paid better.
