AUGH!

So it looks like I won't have the summer job after all. These appointments are always unsure until you have a signed contract, but I had an informal offer last November for this job. Now a TA has asked if there were any summer positions and I guess it's better for the department to hire faculty or TAs for summer work (I don't know why) so they will probably go that route instead.

I cannot escape feeling complete lack of value in the job market.

At this point both Aaron and I are unemployed for the summer. We'll see how things shape up.
