It makes *me* feel better, just reading it...job marketing as I am. You capture so well the complexity and freakin' weirdness of this feeling - which is even more complex and weird for you, being in a TT position right now. <BR/><BR/>Best, best of luck to you in your search!Hilairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09033740943173352249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20099192.post-1160615922214396102006-10-11T21:18:00.000-04:002006-10-11T21:18:00.000-04:00I, too, am on the market.

I particularly love your description of the "superficial high" of various responsibilities that are non-scholarly. The more of this kind of work I do, the more I realize that it's taken the place of that deep focus and calm that comes with scholarly writing. It feels a bit like trading a piece of homemade apple pie for a roll of sweet tarts.<BR/><BR/>It must be time for dinner.kfluffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09067013188119828400noreply@blogger.com
