In a funk of depression, because I can't fucking pay my bills because someone still doesn't have a fucking job (not me, I have two), I started looking at jobs in my fields at other institutions. I am in the process of applying for 13 other jobs at schools in Colorado, Nevada, and California. If I'm gonna do a life change, I'm gonna do it big.
With some of the positions I applied for, part of me is very hopeful, another part is very skeptical and believes they already have someone in mind, but as a trusted advisor said, they could be wanting to go a different direction than the current interim and if nothing else, it's a great opportunity to polish my resume.
The worst they can say is no and I'm right where I am and all it cost me was the time to do the app and make my resume purty. On the plus side, the president of the university said he’d be happy to be one of my references and write me a letter of recommendation if I get that far. Also, he and I are gonna have a sit down to go over the recommendations from my thesis, which I consider a HUGE win.
So that is today’s positive: Pres in my corner
