They took the job I applied for off the website.

:(

I want to wrok for Bard College and move to the Red Hook area or for SUNY New Paltz and move to New Paltz.

There WAS a development job on Bard's website. I sent my letter and resume last week.

Gone now.

I want to move. The city is getting me down.

*sigh*

EDIT: Typo--no typos in my resume or cover letter, I swear!

1. The posting time has ended?

I know in some positions, there is a set time to post the job. Resumes are collected during
that time only and that creates the "pool". This would be a positve for you! Good luck!

:hi:

2. That would be great.

I'm going to call tomorrow.

Thanks.

3. I have a dear friend, an elderly gay retired Southern Baptist pastor,

who lives in or near New Paltz with his partner.

I hope you get it, Dearest. :hug:

4. Other: Are you sure? I mean, are you really, really sure?

I spent far too much time in the mid-Hudson Valley in the early to mid-'90s, in the company of a fellow progressive organizer. Basically what you have is tiny little outposts of chewy progressive goodness, especially New Paltz with its Green mayor, embedded in a rock-hard, inedible matrix of disgusting repukeitude. Even places like "Puke-ipsie" that should know better are Red. (Vassar is, however, another of those outposts, and it'd be worth considering if academia's your thing; it is MUCH cooler since it went co-ed a while back, complete with cats in dorms!, plus it probably pays better than SUNY.)

New Paltz just got through having a series of autism-related events built around a "One Book" program, featuring some of my colleagues as presenters. I suppose if it came to that I could scope them out.

You probably already know or have guessed this, but a consequence of the political miasma is that the phrase "public transportation" is as much of an oxymoron up there as, say, "conservative thinker". Everyone has to drive a car to get anywhere. And I know how you (presumably) feel about cars...

Oh, I just saw "development". Crikey. You can pretty much write your own ticket in development. You could find another, more progressive rural area, like maybe Ithaca or someplace. I even see ads for development types out here...

5. I've thought of Ithica...

...but we don't want to be more than 3 or 4 hours away from my husband's family in Long Island.

I will have to learn how to drive. Although, I've lived in rural areas with no public transportation before, and walked, rode my bike or took car service. Of course, that was in AZ where it's always warm.

I'm not afraid of the repukitude. ;-) Perhaps I will get under their skin. :evilgrin:

Thanks!

6. They didn't let me have a cat in my dorm

Must have been before my time. :-(
