I'm very happy for you, and I read this entire post (out loud to my
statistician husband) because the graphics were really interesting and I
guess I'm in the almost but not quite morbidly curious demographic of
your blog readers who read when you post a link to Facebook.

I'm really happy that you don't have to endure the search anymore. It
sounds horrible.

This was so interesting! And also S=syllabus; P=syllabi. Just saying.

Cue "I stand corrected" by Vampire Weekend, my theme song.

Both are acceptable and "syllabi" is winning (see

), but I'm sticking with my Anglicized pluralization for as long as
possible :)

This was so cool to read ... OK, I skimmed some of it, but still. Best
wishes in Georgia!

Congrats Andrew! So well deserved. This is a perfect representation of
how dysfunctional academic hiring is - the 185 schools are crazy to pass
on you. It's their loss. Georgia State is lucky to have you!
