Shaking, chain-smoking, chewing nails, emitting random shrieks of "EEEEeeee!"

I got an interview. For The Dream Job. OH my god.

And from our preliminary conversation, it sounds like they're wanting to move things fast. Which, *if* this were to pan out--not counting premature chickens, but *if* it did--well, then, I'd be having to move fast, I guess. EEEEeeeeee!

Anna, Merry, Lynn -- I'm going to be in Seattle next Sunday-Monday (2/2-3). E-mail me, OK? Maybe we can get together. (And, uh, if anyone has floor space where I could crash Sunday night, that would be cool. <g>)

And did I say EEEEEEeeee!!!!? <lighting up another cig, pouring a slug of brandy with shaking hands>

Thanks, Susan! I'm practicing my roundhouse punch! (And frantically trying to recover whatever knowledge of Adult Development Theory I once had...)

Hooray! And good luck! And Yay! And a Woo! And a Hoo!

Seriously, this is great news. But if they want you to move fast, make sure you don't go with anyone but the most reputable of movers (just make them pay for it)--take it from me, who moved in 2 weeks and got majorly burned by The Movers From Hell.

But, Yay! I'm sure if they have any sense at all they'll snap you up at a hefty salary, with great benefits.

Hooray!

Well, "hefty salary" and "academic advising" tend not to go together <g>, but hey, from your mouth to God's ear! And if I do end up getting the job, trust me, I'll be pumping you for moving tips. Even trying to *think* about that subject makes my head spin in a queasy-making way.

Mucho gratitude, Beth, and I'll need all the good wishes I can get! Although dammit, one thing I'd wanted to do before vacating God's Own Wide-Open Spaces was to get a chance to meet you. Grr.

EEEEeeeee!

Hey, that's probably what knocked out the Internet last night! *Careful* with those brain waves, missy, them's some powerful mojo.

Thanks a million, Vali, and reprising what I said to Beth earlier about dammit, we should've met up at some point!

I have every confidence in you. Trust me, your friends see things in you that you have a hard time seeing yourself. Let the little *I suck* voice in your head have its say and then go merrily on your way. Because there are so many voices *out here* telling you otherwise. Listen to them.

Ra - ra who's our wo_MAN? Kat! Kat! Kat! If she can't do it, no one can!

OK, so I was never a cheerleader... you get the point {G}

ZR, the only thing cuter than those pictures of your dogs is you with pom-poms. (g/d/r)

Seriously, thanks so much for the generous words. I'm still amazed that they wanted to interview me; but I'm trying to nudge the I-suck voice into the soundproofed room, and have the padlock hidden in my pocket.
