why no more details? whhyyy?
When your director emails you early Saturday morning and asks for your phone number so you can have a "quick chat" over the weekend, should you be concerned?
I ask only out of curiosity, of course, because my brain has chosen freak out oh no what did I do what is happening without my permission. I am also glued to my phone in a way that is entirely unnatural to my normal state of being.
The people on the job market this year have told me that the hardest and most important thing is learning to think of yourself not as a graduate student anymore, but as a professor and a colleague, one that is fully capable of taking your place as one of them. I suppose that means that at some point I will need to get over my deep-seated fear of authority reaction to my dissertation director, but today is not that day.
