[job hunt] Advent of Applications

[astra_nomer]

I had a pile of applications (5) due on Dec 1, so I spent pretty much all day Tuesday furiously writing things up. So furious was I that I accidentally sent in one with the incorrect univerisity's name, and had to send in a new version later. I guess I can count on not getting that job. (mathhobbit is probably shaking her first at me now...)

I'd like to get the rest of the applications done in a more reasonable timeframe, so I've decided to do one each day for the month of December. Just like Advent. Except I'm not the one getting a present. Giving myself the weekends off, I should get these done in the next two weeks, so here goes.

This week: Snooty Tech and Not-so-snooty Tech.

[Side note: My family never celebrated Advent, and my church never brought it up, either. Is it just a Catholic/Episcopalian thing?]

What kind of church did you go to? Not that I can say anything insightful about Advent; I'm just curious.

(I have no religious background, so I can't help on that, but) this just makes me want to sing pseudo-christmas songs for your apps ;9 good luck, anyhow.

mathhobbit is giggling. We got one of those a year or so ago and threw it right out of the pool.

I *am* intrigued by the idea of job app carols. I'll see what I can come up with as I chew through another dozen or so during my office hour.
