These are as good as any I've seen. It is hard to pic a fave, but I am going with: I loved the birdbath ones, too though. The reflections were especially great.

I'm a bit bummed. I wish I'd find out about some of the places I've applied to at the beginning of last month. Waiting really is the hardest part. Everything always works out. That's very optimistic! But also important to remember. Thanks, Liz. It usually does, just not always in the ways we expect, right? ETA: D'oh! Thanks for the huggles, too.

Thanks, sweetie. Sorry to whine. Waiting is awful. If it is any consolation, Universities are notorious for taking forever with . . . anything and everything.

You know, if I get that interview, I'm going to have to take you out to dinner. Fair warning. Even though it's not in Ohio. I promise I don't expect anything on the first date.

Thanks, sweetie. Sorry to whine. Dude. I've known many whiners. I've worked alongside many whiners. I've listened to whiners whine until I wanted to jam chopsticks in my ears. You, my friend, are not a whiner. So, no worries. Please! I work with homocidal maniacs - literally! See? There are much worse ways to deal with rejection and job hunting woes than a bit of whining on a posting board. Dealing with job hunting during a time like this is bound to get you down some times. If you can't come whine here, where can you whine? Feel free.

Hell, I've been known to be a whiner (SHOCKING news, I know), so I really know what a whiner sounds like. And you, my friend, do not a whiner make. The Monster of Squee makes a good point. I mean, you should hear her when the hotel room doesn't have lotion.

I mean, I've worked alongside some people with serious personality disorders, but not homicidal. I think. I had a headache most of the day; it probably made me more "meh" than my usual baseline Charlie Brown-ishness.

Like a car alarm. I keep forgetting that most people can't hear that. It's OK to go to that place. Get all your whiney ya-yas out. Just don't stay there. I agree with Liz that this will all work out, somehow. And yeah, no predicting how, because TRUTH! You just can't make that stuff up!

Well, OK, but if you're going to start working at a University, you're going to have to get ready for the full range of personality disorders. Yes, everything from A to Z in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. You truly did not sound whiny at all. Restless, anxious - yes. But who wouldn't be? Not whiny, though.

OK, I'll believe you. And tomorrow I plan to steel my spine and send out three more applications. There are actually quite a number of jobs available, but since I'm applying in communications, a lot of them want "professional" experience in broadcasting, radio production, video, etc. The worst was my old alma mater, which wanted someone who was experience in 10 different areas of communications. All I could think was: "Oh please. You don't want an assistant professor, you want Superman." And some I've applied to didn't even send an e-mail saying that I was unsuccessful. Which I think is a bit rude, honestly. Hell, the job I applied to in Paris sent me a letter. From Paris! To the US! I sent an e-mail to thank them for taking the time to let me know. Maybe I should have sent a letter.
