waiting is a 4-letter word

Tuesday, December 27th, 2005

I successfully pulled off the 7.5 hour interview on December 13th, and I’ve been waiting ever since to hear back from the search committee.  I’ve experienced a wide array of emotions about the potential result, to the detriment of my day-to-day productivity at work.

In other news, I finally did something I’ve been wanting to do for a while: calculated the average known lifespans of my ancestors.  The average lifespan of women (n=25) is 78.2, or 79.7 without including the shortest lifespan.  The average lifespan of men (n=27) is 70.7, or 71.8 without including the shortest lifespan.  Fun fun!
