However, I am very glad ultimately that I didn't get the job in question. It was apparently something less than "dreamy" at this school.

I like that idea -- funny! In email I've received about the project and random blog chatter, the characters people seem to like most (not sure that's the same as identifying) are: the singer, the comedian, and then maybe the trauma scholar. I'm working on a script for the sequel: "Campus Visit." :) Ha! I like that idea — funny!

In some ways, I'm thinking your <a href="http://9interviews.com/" rel="nofollow">Nine Interviews</a> project could be a useful preventative heuristic, kind of like the question about which Beatle one identifies most with -- only you'd ask potential MLAers, "Which of the nine do you identify most with" and then use that answer to say: OK, here's what NOT to do in the interview/campus visit. (Behavior I'd most want to avoid: Mr. Peanut.) Thanks, Spencer.

That means, I think, they liked you. No surprise there!
