astra_nomerToday has been declared a snow day by the county. After chipping 1/4" of ice off my car, I'm glad they decided to do that. The main road are fine, but the neighborhood streets are pretty treacherous.
Dropped the kids off at their schools' day care programs, which thankfully run on snow days. So now I can work from home in peace, in theory.
I suppose now is as good a time as any to post about how the job search is going.
I've put out more applications for faculty jobs than I care to count.
I made one short list so far, but didn't get the offer. This is a story in and of itself, but either I'm suffering from sour grapes or I really did dodge a bullet.
During the AAS meeting last week, I got promising nibbles from several places. I'll call them Euphemistic University, Elite New England Liberal Arts College, University of the Midwest, Southwest State, and Elite College Next Door to the In-Laws. Not much more to say until I get on a short list, though.
It really helps that this year I have a backup plan in case I don't get a faculty job, because I'm far more relaxed about the job search this year than in years past.

Perhaps I am being dense, but...
