Short listed

Ah, this is hard. Didn't I mention last year that this is hard??

I'm short listed.

I don't know whether to celebrate or cry.  When am I supposed to prepare a job talk? How am I supposed to travel when I'm supposed to be teaching? Do I really want to move to this place? Do I want tenure track, and hence the possibility of tenure, in THIS location?  Do I really want to put myself through another 18 hour job interview?

Yes, I guess I do. At least, some of it. So, why are my hands trembling?

Someone pour me a drink.
