HOLY.FUCKING.SHIT

Just got an invitation for an interview for the three to six-year university position for which I made my Ph.D. proposal thingie in the last few weeks.

WHAT DO I DO NOW????

(Also, wtf am I doing right, now, that I apparently did wrong the 1.5 years before?)

*boggles*

*frets*

ARRRGH!

Wow!!! Actually I was quite sure that would happen after you had got the job at the museum! (somehow, it's always like that). And of course, go for it! There'll be ways to get out of the other contract if you get it, I'm sure.:)

Yeah, seems like it! chamekke, above, has a similar story, and I know of a couple more, too. Odd, isn't it!

BTW, I just spent a night without sleep because suddenly the mere *possibility* of having to teach, soon, terrified me completely. I'm sure I'd learn, but... *shudder*

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.

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. ;-)

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 ...

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.;)

Yes, I noticed her story. Somehow this really seems to be typical, but at least her employers were accommodating. I think most people would be understanding, actually, in your case.

Oh, you'll learn that quite quickly. After all, teaching students at uni can't really be compared to school teaching.;)
