- Bug is acting really crazy, and we are working on it.
- Related: There are two, count them, two, child therapists within an hour of here.
- Dr. S has an interview at Mountain U.
- ON THURSDAY. They told him ON FRIDAY.
- And accidentally sent him a copy of an email discussing the search, including the names and interview dates of everyone else.
- Nowhere else has called. Probably nowhere else is going to call. I fucking hate academia in all its incarnations, unless it hires Dr. S, in which case I am willing to negotiate an entente.

ReplyDeleteYikes.
On the upside, he has a chance to see where he stacks relative to the competition and what his department thinks about the search. That being said, even if it all works out splendidly, I am willing to call this one as being cruel given the toll it takes keep competing. The only possible justification is that the University requires a search and there is no way to handle this rule. Otherwise, somebody is being led on (either the inside or outside candidates).
The University does require a search.
DeleteHe told the dude who sent it ("No I didn't! Oh... wait...") and has been removed from future correspondence, mostly. It really was an accident- there's another faculty member whose name starts "Sci".
Academia is not at the top of the good graces list in this household at present, as you might imagine. Still, I hope they keep Dr. S, if only to save face about the email.
ReplyDeleteYES WELL. I am pretty much tearing my hair out, one hair at a time.
DeleteAmusing and also super-awkward: one of the job candidates was a classmate of ours in grad school.
