Playing the waiting game

"Awww, the Waiting Game sucks.

Let's play Hungry Hungry Hippos." - Homer Simpson

As Tom Petty once sang, "the waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-ayy-ting is the hardest part." Of course, he is correct. He is always correct. Especially in this case.

I am still waiting to hear from The University. I called today and touched base with the chair of the search committee in an effort to remain in their collective consciousness, and to make certain that they understand that I am still interested in the position. The Search Chair is a very kind guy, and he simply told me that he can't say anything until next week, when the person who runs the dept returns from vacation. I choose to take this as a good sign, as I think that they would tell me if they were no longer interested.

It's time to "chillax," though (as "the kids" around here say), and play it cool. I've done what I can now, and I will just wait... somewhat patiently... until I hear a yay or nay.
