23 job applications out to door. Nothing yet. That's a drop in the bucket compared to everyone else in the world. My old university gave me a courtesy appointment just to help me maintain my academic creds. Publish or perish, as they say.
Had a paper sent back to me. Reviewer told me that I'm "ill informed" and "overstated" the problems of the executive branch. That the US govt is working well. I had to dig deep into my academic shade throwing library to retort and felt great about my response. I think I captured the dumpster fire meme in academic prose.
Very focused on landing a job this week and fueled by coffee.
