- @samplereality Try to put in a good word for me before you lose that job. #
- Annoyed to discover that the CLIR fellowship extended its deadline to 30 Dec. Which means that I'll have more competition now. Curses. #
- @billiehara Have you read Cynthia Ozick's *The Shawl*? It's all I can think of when you say "The Bundle." in reply to billiehara #
- .@GreatDismal Kind of like trying to read Neuromancer with the eyes of a 1984 audience. in reply to GreatDismal #
- RT @foundhistory: New blog post: Why I Quit Facebook http://bit.ly/5WPFYT [Succinct and to the point.] #
- .@lesliemb And horror of horrors: one of those poor souls with only 3 interviews is on the #jobmarket for the second year! #
- @amndw2 Absolutely. My mom rereads it every Christmas. #
- @UMWKA Started watching that tonight as a whole family. Had to cut it off for blue cheese burgers. Not the original, but not too bad. #
- Worst thing @ NYT article on #jobmarket (http://bit.ly/5xoi68) is final quotation: person aghast that friends have only 3 interviews. #
- Finding a radical deficiency of CC-licensed photos of insane Starbucks lines for my upcoming @ProfHacker posts. Do *you* have one? #
- @BenRobertson Actual LOL. You win. in reply to BenRobertson #
- Of course, if I was better at math, I would have noticed a pattern: 2 interviews in 2007; 1 interview in 2008; 0 (?) interviews in 2009. #
- I'm here to report that my MLA interview chances are down to1 (maybe 2?) schools. Doesn't look good. #jobmarket #
- @samplereality Great. I need an ARG or two for my Reading Technology/ies class. in reply to samplereality #
- @sivavaid No worries. #
- One of the brilliant shortcomings of Twitter is the inability to DM people who don't follow you. #
- @sivavaid As a dead tree, I'm glad to have something to point out to friends/family who wonder why I *still* don't have a job. Again. in reply to sivavaid #
- @sivavaid What better way to talk about a story than to give details, including statistics? It'd be an empty story without storyline. in reply to sivavaid #
- Glad to see such work funded. RT @jilltxt Congrats to @scottrettberg who just got 1M euros from HERA for research on elec lit & creativity! #
- Favorite part of the #jobmarket wiki thus far? "Universities to fear": http://bit.ly/7Vo6c5. #
- .@mkirschenbaum @sivavaid Or *not* take them to such a job, as the case might be. #jobmarket in reply to mkirschenbaum #
- All right. Time to finally take a look at the #jobmarket wiki and see how bad it is going to be for a guy with no interviews on 12/18. #
- @amndw2 @barbarahui Not a bad idea…but will any of us be there? in reply to amndw2 #
- @barbarahui @negaratduke I think the only sensible/realistic thing to do is to go back in time and *not* get a PhD starting in 2002. in reply to barbarahui #
- Got my hair cut today. Sometimes I wish I could just pull off the @academicdave look. Or the @jbj. #
- @barbarahui @negaratduke And it probably won't get better for 5 years, is my guess. Universities are slow to un-retrench. in reply to barbarahui #
- @barbarahui It's like a waking nightmare, huh? in reply to barbarahui #
- Web 2.0 Suicide Machine takes the work out of dropping out of FB and LinkedIn: http://bit.ly/5aLtCV (via @ritaraley). #

- Kind of annoyed that you can't cancel an @mlaconvention hotel after 12/14 without paying a night's stay. #mla09 #

- Just finished another 25-minute call with insurance. Only to learn our pre-existing never got waived. #

- @jimgroom Congratulations! You've scored the Twitter name already, right? in reply to jimgroom #

- We might have stealth dropped some cookies off at friends' homes tonight. *Might* #
- Dear universe: now would be a good time for me to start getting #jobmarket interviews. Sincerely, Brian. #
- If you want me to file grades by noon, then you need to *tell* me that they are due at noon. Otherwise, I don't know. #grading #
