So I'm interviewing tomorrow for a position at the University of Memphis. That's one of my highly jinxable concerns I haven't mentioned. But now I have. And the jinx is on. So wish me enough luck to counteract the jinx.
Not particularly nervous right now. Not giving it much thought, really. It'll shake out as it should. Whatever that is.

Good luck to you ... good sense to the interviewer.
I don't know if you need the luck since you're a schmoozer and all. But I wish goodness for you anyway. If it works out, you'll be that much closer to MS. :)

Awesome.
I hope you're interviewing with John Bensko.
He's an interesting guy.
A half-hour conversation with him almost made me change my mind and accept their offer.
Buona Fortuna!
who needs luck when you've studied at the feet of Superman?
You'll wow them. And man, I wish I were back in TN.
I hope you get the job, I hope you get the job, I hope you get the job...
Elvis, St. Jude Hospital, Al Green, Federal Express, Paul Guest.
We'll need to add the fact of you to our city pamphlets.
