I have fed my addiction once more... Not booze, women, or drugs like normal addictions- Laptop! Since I am headed the post-doc route I realized in terms of spending my research funds I will probably have access to anything in terms of equipment- but I doubt the guy will give me money for a computer. So... I am getting a sweet little tablet- Toshiba Portege M400: Check it out. So sweet!

And.... my life is decided. I am waiting for Lucas to go down for his afternoon nap, then calling Mt St Mary's to turn them down- it is just not the right place for me. I just got off the phone with the Washington State guy. He said he cannot officially offer me the post doc because he does not officially have the grant money. But all in all it is a done deal. So I am on my way to Pullman, WA. Not sure how it is to live up there, but it sounds like an amazing opportunity for post doc work. I get to learn disease ecology and molecular techniques. So it will really make me a MUCH better candidate for jobs. So there you have it, the drama has ended... Well, hopefully!

And the verdict from Univ of the Pacific is....

NO JOB!

Basically, I need a post-doc. Just not cool enough without one. Bummer...

This is the slowest week known to man... I find out Thursday whether I am the top of the list for University of the Pacific. I think it is between me and one other guy. Although I know nothing about the other candidate- save they are not from around here. All I can do is wait. Every day creeps by- who knows what lies next? Tune back in Thursday night for the results.

Crazy day. Had a phone interview with the provost at Mt St Mary's this morning. She was not there the day I had my interview down there. It went really well. So well that an hour later Lee(my undergrad advisor) called me and said that they just called him for a reference and might offer me a job. Then they called me this afternoon and did just that!!! I asked them if they would give me some time to think about it, at least until I hear back from University of the Pacific in the next couple weeks. So there you have it! I got a positive email from UOP today as well. There final candidate arrived today to interview and will be there until Friday. So perhaps by next week my life will be decided. Or perhaps not... hehe.
