Dear Carol,
It shouldn't be a surprise: we are all writing job applications at this
time of the year, or at least the good and innocent do (the bad and guilty
don't have to, because it's them who are having all the jobs). To say it
with Sally Mussetter, who always finds the right comforting words when I
electronically weep at her grandmotherly breast: "This is the second worst
passage of your professional life. The worst is tenure."
Ede feliciter,
Otfried
