about jobs, and the law of conservation of anxiety.

it's slightly disturbing to apply for a job, then to see that the job opening has been re-posted.

it's my inferiority complex at work, of course: i become inclined to suspect that their applicants are not "prestigious enough"

      ..among them, me..

and that they want someone smarter, better looking (at least on paper), and more published.



i'm becoming less worried about applications, but the law of conservation of anxiety persists: i'm more worried about writing/finishing a thesis, and this makes up for it!

Which is actually a change for the better. I mean it's better to worry about the things that you can control.
