anxious

[this week on the market]

Hello insiders! what can we expect this week on the market? Any contributions to anxiety-reduction are welcome!

[soothsayer]

It sounds like michigan and ohio state are likely to make calls in the next few days.

[anxiouser]

that is not anxiety-reducing!!

[soothsayer]

Point taken. but what kind of "anxiety reduction" contributions were you looking for? It seems like all news is stressful until you get an offer, honestly.

Stop reading these boards. Seriously. None of the information you get here will reduce your stress, and some of the posts/threads will only make it worse.

[right]

Anxious is right. There is nothing you can do about any of it at this point anyway. So spend this time preparing a job talking and getting manuscripts out for review so that you can either be ready for the market next year OR so that you can get tenure once you land that job!

[also]

Avoid thinking about the job market on the weekend! Nothing happens over the weekend, except when it does. The worst is when you have just taken the long plane ride home...

[hola]

I wonder how many people got phone calls this weekend? It can still be very early, but a lot schools are already making phone calls.

[this week on the market]

what's our money on? what schools will make moves this week? I think Princeton and NYU are sort of due...

[huge pool]

Probably shouldn't expect Princeton this week. Anything is possible, but SC members have indicated it will be at least another week before they have a list.

[soooo]

soo any other rumors of places that might start making calls? NYU should be soon I'd guess...
