And let the bloodbath begin!
And my "bloodbath" I mean the academic job market, of course.
Just went through the MLA Job Information List, creating a spreadsheet for all "possibilities." I have 15 on there, although realistically only about 3-5 of those really seem like a possibility. (I.e., my academic interests are tangential, or the job is located in India, which I suspect the wife might not be too keen on.)
All in all -- not too good, but I knew that going in. I do have the consolation of thinking my c.v. is pretty good for an all-but-dissertation doctoral student. Still, we'll see how things go.
