The twitch, it seemed, magically disappeared once I determined that I had purified active protein in an amount that was suitable for the scientist in my lab to do his voodoo-magic with (which, by the way need to be done soon-- the RO1 is due to the grants office in roughly two weeks).
Still, I am surprised about the lack of nervousness I am feeling. Tomorrow is my first phone interview ever and Monday I fly out to another interview at a fairly decent university (got the call yesterday). Two rejections (one via snail mail, one via e-mail) didn't even put a dent in my mood. Coupled with grant writing and general lab BS, I really thought that my brain would be toast by now and my nerves completely shot. The thought of going shopping this week for some appropriate interview clothes should be sending me in a tizzy (I hate clothes shopping- especially on a deadline). But no, not so much. I am feeling very..."meh" at this point.
At least, for right now.
