And just how did I come across this opening? Not through the usual channels. I didn't see it on the Chronicle's website. It wasn't posted on the vacancy lists of my professional societies. I saw an ad on some blog a month or so ago. No, this isn't a tenure-track gig. But then, maybe it's something to keep me busy while I get a consultancy off the ground. Who knows? Don't know where it'll go from here. But we'll see. Meantime, I'm happy just being where I am.

That's cool--it seems like there are more options on the horizon.
Consider this good affirmation in the meantime, no matter what happens!
Sounds promising--good luck!
Hah! Very interesting! Good to know that things are still happening, even better if they're "alternative" and can help you achieve the goals that are starting to take shape in your life now!
