moving to a small town, and leaving the city where I've been pretty happy for the last ten years or so would also be... less than calm-inducing.

Understandable. This things always make me nervous as well. Although, currently, I rather have the fear I will never have to worry about that because I'll never find an 'interesting' job in the first place ...

Tonight, before I go to bed, I'll have to medidate on the thought that, really, it *isn't* that likely they'll actually offer me the job, to calm myself down. ;-)

I always told that to myself, both in order to calm myself down, and to avoid being too disappointed. Apart from the horrible interview I told you about, I also had two in which it was really close, and I keep telling me myself that should be reason enough for me not to give up hope.;)
