TT- position at the med school I fell in love with and wanted to work at was offered.
TT- position has now been accepted.
Looks like I'll be an Asst. Prof come fall (or the middle of summer which is when Mr. Dr. Zeek and I will trek half-way across country to start up all over again. He's as excited as I am....).
I am scared shitless, reveling in the thought that we "have a home" to go to come this summer and panicking about all that I should be doing right now. But for a moment, I will sit back,drink my coffee and realize this is why I have worked my ass off for for the past too many years to count.

Congrats Zeek!!!
wow, that's fantastic! congratulations!!
I just discovered your blog and came across this post. Congratulations!
Although we may have been up for the same job. >
Just kidding. Way to go and good luck. But I like your idea of reveling in the victory first. :)
Hmm.. My ominous growling got misinterpreted as html and eaten....
Oh well, goes to show you that I'm not exactly the most terrifying person in the world.
Thanks guys!
And Dr. Dad- it was more by luck than anything. 29 applications, three on-site interviews (one was an industry position) and two offers (again, one from industry). I'm starting to get a lot of "thanks but no thanks" letters from the other schools now.
After a week or so of enjoying the idea that I will have a home and a place to do really awesome science it is now time to get back down to business. Two grants to write, a paper to finish, undergrads to keep out of my hair, budget justifying and two quick trips to TT-job land. Oh, and some preliminary data for said grants. All in the next three months...Time to get my head out of my ass and get going!
