You assumed correctly
It did go well. Now have to set up the 3rd interview. My God. Does it ever end? I keep forgetting this is U of M and I have to prove I'm worthy to work at such an esteemed institution.
So now I wait. Arrrrggghh.

Here's hoping that you don't spend too long stranded admist the paperwork!

Third? Are there any other candidates left?
Three interviews is a tough selection process. You da man, um woman!
Matthew Greet
Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol, and dental insurance. Choose fixed interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisurewear and matching luggage. Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourself. Choose your future. Choose life... But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose life. I chose somethin' else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you've got heroin? - Mark Renton, Trainspotting.

I hope there's no one left but me!
But I dont know.
My kids tell me I'm da woman. They do a little dance for me and chant: Go Mo-om, Go Mo-om, you're the wom-an, you're the wo-man. They can really bust a move.
(They got that from me.)

It would seem, therefore, that the three human impulses embodied in religion are fear, conceit, and hatred. The purpose of religion, one might say, is to give an air of respectibility to these passions. -- Bertrand Russell

Hang in there...
I once had 6 interviews with a company. When they finally got off their ass and made me an offer, I had just received another offer. I took the other one on the basis that I didn't want to work for anybody who has that much trouble making up their mind. Hopefully, this will go better for you. Best luck!

Yeah, I know you went to that school.
Condolences. Now Michigan State- *THAT'S* a school. No pretenses at Moo U. Just a great education, a beautiful campus, great parties, and it was *loads* cheaper.

Why?
Were you on the 6 year plan or are you referring to the cost of your alcohol consumption?

Re: Why?
Michigan paid all of my tuition. And I suspect Ben was referring to the alcohol, too. ;-)

Your suspicion was wrong, sorry

You have been approved by multiple people. Those multiple people all have their reputations on the line, so they will fight for you. They are now doing the formalities. The job is yours to lose at this point. And you won't.
