Well a week has passed since I told University of Michigan I would be interested in a second interview. I haven't heard back from them so I can only conclude they offered the position to someone else.
Thank God!
I really didn't want to move back there. If I had, I would have felt that the past 13 years would have been for naught. I left Michigan for a reason. I no longer belonged there and my visits in the intervening years served as reinforecement. I would have ended up feeling very lost and isolated if I had gone back. Not that I didn't have such feelings after UCLA cut me loose, but in the past two months I've begun to feel as if I'm setting some roots here. They're very shallow at this point, but I'm starting to feel grounded here. I've managed to create a village type life style in the middle of Los Angeles. Oddly enough, I was speaking to Marilyn, the front desk person at the Job Source Center today and she was telling me about how she would like to retire to an oceanside village here in So Cal so she can experience the pleasures of small town life. It seems to me if one can live, work and shop all in the same walkable area, you have found a village type lifestyle, no matter how large the official population of your town.
Anyway, my current job hunt strategy is pretty simple right now--hold tight at the Guild and keep pestering the social services agency regarding the database admin position.
