Having lowered my expectations, I was fairly certain I wouldn't be feeling all that disappointed when the official decision from Northwestern came back as a denial

Bogus! Well, Andy would be the first to bond with you over how lame Northwestern is. As the Queen once said, "Grit your teeth and think of England."

Thanks. Between this and my continuing inability to land even a low-level admin job, I'm now fairly positive that I pissed off somebody important.

Yesterday Andy was told that he was the 'second best applicant' for the first librarian job to appear in six years at his workplace, so you're in good company I'm afraid ...

Personally, I love your work. Contraption is among my favorite new works I've seen, and your monologues are always a high point for me and my friends when we see Too Much Light. In fact, "Bilal Monologue" has become a household name within my circle of friends for a particularly poignant speech.

Thank you for this. I really, sincerely, and humbly appreciate this.

sorry to hear about this, it's their loss and like others have said, this will leave room for a better opportunity!

[bdar]

I am looking forward to the opening. Thanks for the support.

Oh goddamnit, that stinks.

[bdar]

Well, if it happens again I now know that barbecues and hanging with Quinn are in order.

I'm so sorry. You have a right to be disappointed - their judgment stinks.

[bdar]

I'll take your assessment as highly credible. You do, after all, work for a judge. Thanks.
