Nine and a half weeks

OK, so I got a terse email from the chair of the selection committee that a decision should be forthcoming this week. I certainly hope so. It's been way too long a wait for something as important as this. Supposedly I'll also hear something about the second recruitment, although I suspect that since the principal on the second is also on the hiring board of the first, there may be some sort of timing issue.

I'm getting things done and lab work is progressing normally, but it is hard to have your head in two (or three) places at once, compounded with the uncertainty. But, as I've been told, "hang in there."
