One thing with coming back is you have to face work again. This trip was good in that I kept up with emails and did a bunch of work things while at home, but the one thing I can't keep up with is voice-mails. So I got in this morning and walked right into a voicemail from Fairbanks (Alaska) and I did not get the job there. The message was only from friday, so at least it hasn't been sitting around for long I guess. It was also a nice personal message from the search chair - she said the committee did not reach a consensus on the hire, that she had been rooting for me, and that she hoped we could work together in the future. It actually could not have been a nicer rejection call, so thats something.
Onwards and upwards I guess, though my enthusiasm for the day has waned, and it's only 11am......

Well my dad's words of (non-)comfort would be, "You can't win 'em all." However, I have to say that at least you got let down so nicely. Better things in store!!
bummer :(
bummer on the job but we always knew there was an internal candidate - wonder if she got it? I put in my two cents for you went I got the no. Sorry it wasn't enough.
Oh dear, I am sorry to hear that. It is hard to hear even when you think you know that will be the answer. Hopefully the 'perfect' job is right around the corner!
