 * Job link: http://umass.interviewexchange.com/jobofferdetails.jsp?JOBID=53325&CNTRNO=2&TSTMP=1412207626590
 * This is kind of confusing. At first glance, I thought it meant that applications from Brazilianists, Caribbeanists, and Andeanists were particularly welcome, but on a second reading, I decided that it meant that they already have people who specialize in this, so they're looking for someone who doesn't study Brazil, the Caribbean, or the Andes. Thoughts?
 * Entrail readings of course and one should always apply because SCs are unpredictable, but "diversify' here likely means that they're looking for someone not in those areas (so prob Mexico or Argentina, given what other faculty there and at the Five Colleges do and don't do).
 * Any news? 11/25
 * invited for AHA interview 12/1
 * Rejection email, 12/2.
 * Strange. What does it mean to not have received neither a rejection nor an interview invitation? (x4)
 * Emails are being sent out this week.  Some may have gone out early.  AHA interviews are set
 * I was the one who got a rejection on 12/2. They had solicited my application so perhaps they felt they owed me an explanation earlier rather than later. But yeah my guess is that if you haven't heard yet that's not good news
 * Rejection email, 12/5 (x4)
 * A friend of mine has an on-campus interview
 * On campus interviews complete. Meeting to discuss candidates. 2/25
