*Snuggled in my Car...*

under the yellow pines outside Sisters, Oregon late last night, I turned on my cell phone to check messages. I did this because I quietly escaped the confines of work for about 24 hours without telling anyone. And I felt guilty enough to at least determine if my office had burned down (thus aleviating the need to pack thousands of books for a move between buildings). Among the many messages - how do all these people get my cell phone number! - was a call from the the Dean where I interviewed. We played phone tag a bit, but she caught me as I pulled back into town this afternoon.

She offered me the job.

NOW WHAT DO I DO?!

**Leaving on a Jet Plane**

Not to any place as exotic as someone I know, but instead for work - or for a job interview, to be more precise. A mere 10 hours on a plane - well, actually, three planes - and I am not even leaving the country. Instead this is an out-of-the-way place so I have to fly to Cincinnati, then Philadelphia and then to the Finger Lakes.

First rule: carry on luggage as the odds of it being misplaced are tripled on this trip before one even considers the part of Murphy's Law guiding all things that can go wrong on a job interview.

I have clothes (cause I went out and bought them), but am still working on the presentation I have to make. So why am I blogging, I ask myself rhetorically?

**Okay last videos, but you gotta admit**

JOSS IS AMAZING!









And in this one she is 16 years old


And yes it was her in Eragon.

**All Things Canadian. Including the Shatner**

And the Shatner's version



I love him.

**T-minus 5 days**

Off to interview for the job next week. Have to do a 30 minute presentation on research. SInce I have been making documentaries and nonprofit videos for the last 2 years, I will have to come up with something. Quick. But first, a crapload of grading.
