Okay, yesterday's blog bragged about my infamous bad moods. When those happen I just retreat and stay away from everyone because I don't want to take it out on them.
But yesterday two things happened - One, I sent off the proposal for my hopefully second book. If all goes well it will be out in December. And, yes, I will give autographed copies of either of my books. Who knows, in a few years it might be worth so much money you could actually sell it and use all that money to buy yourself a beer.
Then, later in the day, the phone rang. I saw on Caller-ID that it was coming from the state of Georgia. We sometimes get creditors calls from there, so I didn't pick up. Something told me I should have. I should have. It was from a college down there, and not only am I a finalist for a professorship position there, they want me to come on campus for the interview in less than two weeks! The gentleman sent me an e-mail with the information, and as soon as I got it I called him back. He seems like a really nice guy. So now I need to A) Find the funds to get down there, and B) Figure out how the hell to get down there! It's about two hours south of Atlanta, and since my sister-in-law isn't speaking to me these days, I'm on my own. That's okay. This is the first REAL (not phone) interview I've had for a full time professorship in just over a year. I have to give a 30 minute in-class teaching demonstration, which is standard procedure. Wow. A finalist. Maybe this time something will happen.
So now all I have to do is wait until something happens to send my mood back the other direction. You know, the old Yin and Yang.
