Job interview in Wyoming went well
It was my first academic job interview, so obviously I was nervous. But I think it went well. I didn't throw up on anyone, and no one died during my teaching demonstration. Well, one person, but it wasn't because of the teaching demonstration. Damn Wyoming ninjas and their blood feuds!
Everyone was pleasant. Found out the money was better than originally quoted.
Now, I'm just waiting to hear from them. Hopefully, it's good news. Either way, it was good experience.
The traveling, however, took a lot out of me. Nothing bad happened, but my itinerary consisted of driving to Sacramento, taking a plane to San Francisco, taking a plane to Denver, Colorado, getting a rental car (upgraded to a SUV! Thanks, Budget Rent aCar!), driving 5 hours to Casper, Wyoming, sleeping, doing the whole job interview and teaching demonstration thing, driving 5 hours back to Denver, Colorado, taking a plane to Sacramento (with a very nice woman who works for the military, whose husband is in the military, and whose kid made it very difficult to sit in the window seat with him jumping up and down on me, but hey, it happens), and driving back home to Stockton. Fun fun fun.
Anyway, there was this restaurant they took me to for lunch, and let's just say that if I end up moving to Casper, Wyoming, it might be my new Carl's Jr (my every morning eating place). It's called Eggs(something), and it's a medium scale restaurant, and I can have breakfast at all times of the day. Woohoo! Okay, maybe I'm just tired from the trip.
Anyhoos. Back home now. Have to work on a paper Kat and I are finishing so I can present it for us tomorrow at the Gender and Science Conference (she can't attend because she's at a debate tournament in Denver); I even flew out on the same flight as them Wednesday. Then I have to start putting real behind to chair as I start to write my thesis proposal. It needs to be done yesterday rather than tomorrow.
Stumble It!
