Antsy antsy antsy

I've been vacillating between confident optimism and resigned despair for the past 11 days as I continue to wait for the In*** results. I've become compulsively obsessed with staring at the Gmail web browser tab that stays open during the work day, waiting for it to refresh with a new message -- or alternatively, staring at my phone, waiting for it to light-up with an incoming call. Not a pleasant state of mind to be in, and now I'm just ready for the results so I can move forward either way.

As of tonight, I'm leaning more toward the mindset that I didn't get the job, because hey, if they really really wanted me, surely they would have said something by now. Though, granted, one of my UT friends just got a great librarian position at a city university, and they took 6 weeks to notify her (and her interview process was 11 hours to boot -- it included breakfast and dinner with the team).

Luckily, I have a very excellent distraction to occupy myself with now -- I'm going to Mexico City for vacation with the bf next week. I was there exactly 2 years ago and enjoyed the few days in MEX immensely (the rest of the trip was spent in a small beach town much further south). However, on the last trip, L. Noodle and I had quite a cushy time since her Mexican buddies took us around and handled all the transportation, translations, and planning. The burden of figuring it out on one's own (or at least with a lot of prior Internet research) is a welcomed task though, and I can't wait to go back there.
