Rumor mill

I recently heard that a friend of mine from grad school who was maybe four years behind me, who is due to defend her thesis this spring, who won a Hubble Fellowship, has been offered a tenure-track faculty position at one of the places I applied to (and was rejected from) this year.

I am such a loser.

You're still better than most other astrophysicists. Also, Einstein got shafted by the academic establishment when he first tried to be a professor.

*Hug.* Yeah, it sucks to be competitive when you don't win.

Thanks for the compliment, even though my inner Imposter doesn't believe it... :)
