On the Road Again

I an interview for a job this weekend.  The position is a full-time, tenure-track position at Monroe Community College in Rochester, NY.  Maybe not the most prestigious job in the world, but it's a good job.  The campus is beautiful and the people in the department are really committed to teaching, which should be a welcome change from IU, where research is the big thing and teaching is an afterthought.

I think it went pretty well.  It's tough to tell with these things, because of course they're not supposed to tip their hands until the decision has been made and they're ready to make an offer, which sounds like it won't happen for about 3 weeks.  So now we just have to wait and hope.  It sucks because it's not like we can go out and find a house or start doing any of the million things you have to do before you can move.  We can look around a little, but not do anything certain or permanent.  It's pretty scary.  My lease is up on August 13, so we're going to have to move pretty quick after we hear about this job, one way or the other.  On top of that, we're supposed to go to the beach with my family Aug. 7-14, so we would have to move before that.  We're not exactly having a stress-free summer, I'll tell you that.
