My mother-in-law just called me on skype to let me know my husband almost passed but didn't. He was tied with another guy in first place, but then they decided for the other. I'm relieved because I don't know if I would have wanted to go back right now, and also because it's good to know that he is competitive after all, and almost got the job.
I'll be back later with a more "political" post.
About Me
- L
- I'm a Brazilian immigrant (used to say expatriate, have problems with this word now), living in the U.S. since 1996 with my husband and two sons (born in March 2002 and May 2004). I'm a mother, first and foremost, -- mamãe in my mother-tongue, hence the (e) of the blog title -- but after "ten years and two sons" I finally finished my Ph.D. in literature in 2008. After six years away from teaching (including a year home/cyber schooling my sons - 2009-10), I'm finally back in higher-education. I've been blogging here for eleven years, so welcome to my site and feel free to stay for a while and look around. Our lives are a roller coaster, never lacking in ups and downs! ;-)

so is it OK to say "Congratulations," even though he did not get the job? Your husband did very well and deserves a pat on his shoulder! :) And despite the rejection, you guys are probably relieved to finally know in which direction the wind is blowing ... :)
I am going to say congratulations as well. And maybe he tied because it is not quite the right time for you to go back yet. I have to admit I am all about fate in situations like this "it must be meant to be". Can't wait for the political post, but another jane austen conversation would be nice too. ;)
