A glimmer of hope

Earlier this week, I found out I made the "long" list for a position I applied for.

And just now, I got back a referee report that says, "I think this is an interesting paper that is well written." Granted, there are still comments I need to address before it can get published, but nothing too difficult.

I guess I can take comfort in the fact that my code is still broken. Gotta stay grounded...
