(Trust me: I just went through two rounds of negotiations on a house!)<br /><br />Remember: YOU have something THEY want, too. They might actually not have a back-up hire if you don't take this job, or getting one might require new interviews, which could be tricky this late in the term. Yes, the money's on their side, but departments can feel desperate, too, esp. when they're not really the ones that control the purse strings. I'd assume the chair is consulting with the dean, and that accounts for the delay.<br /><br />In any case, bon courage! And knock 'em dead on your other interview!Flaviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17832765671541392835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7404056807161357402.post-56687375508167745312011-05-04T10:37:58.859-04:002011-05-04T10:37:58.859-04:00Hold tight!

But go ahead and have a drink. :)<br /><br />And see if you can calm down enough to do your work and get your interview ready. Oh, and if you still need something to pass the time, I have plenty of grading you can do for me. ;)Sisyphushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09880634753539329199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7404056807161357402.post-21319019091987872852011-05-04T07:54:35.577-04:002011-05-04T07:54:35.577-04:00Don't forget that you likely e-mailed them in ...Don't forget that you likely e-mailed them in the afternoon here, and they may not have had a chance to find the answers before close of business. It's currently almost 8 AM Eastern Time. Give them a few hours before you panic. I think the other end of your craziness spectrum is more plausible. <br /><br />Breathe and sip your scotch, DK.
