Legal, good move, and the only logical course to take. Just hope a better-paying position opens up soon for you. Keeping my fingers crossed for you! Schoolmarm, the waiting game is hard, but at least you know your qualifications are unquestioned. You're a contender! It will work out. SBG, yes, this sucks--on so many fronts. Money, morale, and plans for the future. Gather up that strength I know you have and keep applying. Something will break soon. Promise! Thanks to you all for your continued support of each one of us going through this!!

Hugs to SBG.....something WILL come along! Hang in there. WELL, I was waiting in the snowstorm for my private students who cancelled, and I get a phone call from one of the Universities. Well, it turned out to be an informal phone interview. They will be bringing people to campus in a couple of weeks. I think that I am at or near the top of their list. Then I get an email that NYU is creating their short list next week and bringing people in the last week of February. I can't believe that they are moving SO fast and interviewing so soon....Herckle, you were right! The prof on the phone said that they are moving fast because there are a lot of "my" jobs available and few candidates. Their search failed last year. The phone interview was basically him trying to sell the job on me and telling me what a great place it is to work at. It has the same horrible teaching load that I have here, but they have grad students and it's in a REALLY cool little city with affordable housing! (AND an airport!) The one that called is a private school with a grad program, but the salary will probably NOT be good. Glad the TEXAS contingent is out for me! Now I have to get the NY contingent ready, and BabyRuth is covering Michigan. My brother will just have to help with Wisconsin and Illinois. North Carolina anyone?

Wow, Schoolmarm, I'm gonna hazard a guess now, just for fun, that you wrap this up, in say 3 weeks tops (from today). That will make it Feb 24 at the latest. Mark my words!

Feb. 24 is my birthday. It would be a nice present, but I think it would take longer. It would be kinda cool to be on an on-campus interview on my birthday, though.... But then again, Herckle, you've been right before! Keep up with the predictions.

You know... a big part of me just says, "I hope marm gets the best job out there for her" Then there's that other part that just thinking the world of her and says, "No! SMU or I'm protesting" I'm just glad things are rolling for you.

well i finally travel out to get the mail today and i see this thin letter from the public defenders office and i am thinking oh well, guess it really didnt work out - after all if they wanted me to have the 2nd interview they would have called, not written a letter.. but i open it anyway, and actually was dreading having to come in here to post a no to all of you and this is what the letter said "The Hiring Committee is recommending you for consideration for a vacancy in the Child In Need of Assistance Division of the Office of the Public Defender. If you are interested in being considered, please call ....." what can i say but YIPPPEEEKAYYYAAAE - i got to the next level - i will call tomorrow to set up an interview with the Head of the Division, since offices are closed now (yes i still tried calling) - but this is definitely good news...

I came here today because I officially moved to the next step. The interview with The Student Loan Corporation (Citibank) is now scheduled. My L&L gal called to check on my availability for next week (thank goodness, given my slow recovery from this stupid stomach thing). It is tentatively set for 10 A.M. in Stamford on Tues., Feb. 10. Definitely lifts my spirits to have things moving along.
