well, that's that.

I didn't get the eighteenth-century lecturer position and will thus not be teaching the Gothic novel courseLet's see. Anger: check. Disappointment: check. Hurt: check

Yes. Falafel will make everything better. What's your schedule like early next week? We can meet on campus if you'll be there, which I hope for your sake you won't, or I can come pick you up.

I said this already, but I'll say it again. I'm sorry you didn't get the job, because (a.) you wanted it, (b.) you would have been brilliant at it, (c.) your students would have had a wonderful experience, and (d.) I would have gotten to hear you talk about it for a semester--which is an experience I would have treasured.

Not that I won't get to hear you talk about other things. *g*

[heresluck]

Well, of course. I'm always talking about *something*. I do think that me geeking about students' reactions to The Monk would probably have trumped me complaining about the yawnfest that is Robinson Crusoe, though. Or snarling about job letters, as is perhaps most likely. :::sigh:::

Also, thank you.

Now go write a novel so I can read it and be cheered up by the pain of people who are not me.

...what, me unreasonable? I don't know *what* you're talking about.

Drats! That would've been a wonderful class.

And word about the avoiding grieving the end of Buffy until now...it's knocking me for a loop today too.

[heresluck]

Thank you.

And yeah, end of Buffy. I'm kind of a mess about it. My Buffy vid ideas have suddenly moved up significantly in the queue.

[sdwolfpup]

I'm very sorry to hear that, I had been crossing fingers for you.

[heresluck]

Thank you. Also, your icon made me laugh so hard I scared the cats, so thank you for that too. *g*

[laurashapiro]

I'm really sad to hear about all of this: not getting the position, your Buffyverse grief, the not-vidding mood. It all just sucks.

{{{heres_luck}}}

[heresluck]

It does suck. But your icon makes everything better. *g*

And thank you.
