Now I’m thinking- do we really need a honeymoon? Lol/ everywhere I think about, I’m like ohhh I’d really want Scarlett to see/experience that too. I mean- we only have 5 summers left of her as a child (sob)- we can honeymoon when she goes off to college???

Would you move halfway across the country for what seems to be an ideal job that you can’t currently get where you live? Also- to a very conservative state albeit a more progressive college town?

I have a funny/bad feeling about the whole thing honestly. Since it’s summer, they did second interviews virtually rather than in person, like they normally would. Okay fine, but I guess I thought that if they offered me a job, they might support/cover a campus visit before asking me to decide. According to others, it’s not really common for a tenure track position to ask you to agree, sight unseen. They have kind of hemmed and hawed about the request and finally said they would reimburse me in the summer calling it “moving expenses,” but it seems I’d only be reimbursed if I take the job? They’ve tried to accommodate me in other ways- like what if I can do the first semester remotely? But I don’t know- the confusion and hesitation with the site visit have me not feeling confident about taking the job.

UPDATE- they emailed to ask if I have time to talk on the phone later today. Would they want to reject me via phone or would they just reject me via email???? I have to wait and see????? I want to know nowwww

I mean he said he’d “love” to schedule a time to talk today and he “looks forward to talking” sooo would he look forward to rejecting me????
