Dear Tenure-Track Job Search,
You and I have been together a long time. We've had our good times... but mostly bad times. You always promise me that it will be different this time, that it will all work out and we will live happily ever after. But then you turn around and disappoint me yet again.
Well, I am done with you. I have just been offered an amazing job, one that I think is far better than anything you could have gotten me. I'll be directing a huge new research center at a big R1 university. I will be respected, and paid well, and will have a beautiful office. I'll get to do my own research. I will work with famous, influential scientists who apparently think I am awesome. I won't have to deal with any undergraduate students... probably ever.
In a few years' time, I may look you up again. Maybe things will be different next time. But for now, this is goodbye.
Love and greener pastures,
Dr. Brazen Hussy

Congratulations!! That is so awesome! And can I say that I'm a wee bit jealous. And while I haven't made the move to scotch yet, the SB drinks it, so when he gets back, I'll have him raise a glass of scotch in honor of you, and of course, I'll drink to you many times before then though. :)
Oooh! Congrats!
