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.

Oh, by the way, I know how you feel. It sucks.

Thanks for the sympathy. Having a competitive nature is all well and good until you lose, right?
