I had a job interview on Tuesday

[sebastienne]

- for a job it turns out that I really really want -

and I haven't heard anything yet. Realistically I know that this means they have offered it to someone else, and are waiting for formalities and references before they commiserate the unsuccessful applicants; but my gods this is driving me slowly insane!

There are many wonderful things in the world - most notably, Theatricalia, which is well on its way to being IMDB for the theatre, and this most excellent queer/straight rights petition - but I'm unable to give them my full attention until I can draw a line under this job interview, one way or another. I am being plagued by increasingly toxic hope.

Still, it's the Geek Quiz tonight, Social Highlight of the Term and all that...

So sad I can't go to the Geek Quiz! DDD: But I have an absolute murderer of an essay due in tomorrow...

Argh. Something similar happened to me last week. They asked me in for an informal chat, invited me to some seminars, seemed like they really liked me, called me and asked me to apply for the job... then went quiet on me for a fortnight and then emailed me to inform me that they'd given the job to someone else who had a qualification I didn't that they hadn't asked for. Grr, sulk, mutter. It was a horrible fortnight. Deepest sympathy.
