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.

Heh. It's like how I get annoyed at that faculty member next door who complains about what a big loser he is, despite being world-famous for his discoveries. It's all relative, I guess...
