So we have an interesting new development with Nico... he has apparently convinced himself to cry at the drop of a hat. And not likey whiny baby whining... full on, meltdown crying his face off crying. Yes... its pretty exciting. And by that I mean, not at all.
One thing he is doing that is pretty fun is he says, "Hey Nico" kinda randomly. I am trying to turn that into "Hey mama" to which I reply, "Hey Nico."
In the job market report: I asked another professor at FSU to write a letter of recomendation for me. To which she agreed (which was actually a surprise, because I would have told me no.) The reason I asked is that she has known me longer than some of the others I probably could have asked (like profs that served on my dissertation committee). But I think she could speak to my development as a human and as a scholar. But maybe that is the lesson...sometimes some people just need to catch a break. I feel like this is me catching a break.
Right now my list of applications looks like this (this list is based only on positions that have been posted and for which I may qualify):
Washington and Lee University (Lexington, VA)
University of Wisconsin-LaCrosse (LaCrosse, WI)
Luther College (Decorah, IA)
Carleton College (Northfield, MN)
Denison College (Granvile, OH)
Franklin College (Franklin, IN)
U of New Mexico (Albuerqueque, NM).
Know what else is me catching a break? The article I worked on last year with IE (based on the poster we presented at PAA)? Its being made into a TV movie!! Holla! Okay, not really. Its not being made into a TV movie. It is, however, being published by Springer in a text called, "Applied Demography and Public Health." Isn't that sexy? I am resisting the urge to run my happy self to publix for celebratory cupcakes and beer. What? I can't drink beer at work? What if I am a published author? Can I drink beer now? No. Can I interest you in a cupcake?
