Suspense's over.
In the hallway this morning, almost late for class, search committee chair, on his way to a meeting, apologized for not interviewing me.
"Many people applied," he explained, "and two are coming to campus."
"That's OK!" I amiably, almost cheerfully, replied, and went on my way.
I think I can see these people now or at least know who they are. For some weird reason I'm hoping for Anglo men, again. Maybe I'd feel better & more valued (since he wouldn't ever be able to have my experience & perspective). A woman from my country or a man from another country would be fine, but a guy from my country... I don't think I'd like that at all!! I haven't much liked the ones I've encountered at conferences...
I'll let you know more as soon as I know! It should be fun!
Seriously!! ;-)
P.S. And I'm fine! I really am. (I kinda knew all along ;-) #benefitsofpessimisticrealism
Although I know that you are fine and that you will be fine, I still wish that they would have interviewed you...
ReplyDeleteGlad you are fine! Sometimes just knowing helps. We'll really understand if you have some disappointed moments, but for now, I'm hoping with you that the new person will be someone you'll click with and work well with.
