I've had my first Job Hunt anxiety dream of the year, and let me tell you, it was so strange. I dreamed that I was being interviewed for a job at some school by a strange bearded man in a sweater vest. Somehow, I had scheduled the interview at the same time as a party my friends and family in Ohio were having. That's where everything went bust. It turned out that he needed to come back to my place (or somewhere in Ohio) so he could give me: A GALLON OF MILK! Of course, when we got there, my crazy sisters were very embarrassing, I got drunk, and Julie blew cigarette smoke all over the poor man. He was not amused!
But, my anxiety wasn't done yet! Then, I dreamed that I was teaching (back at Penn State I believe) and the technology in the room wasn't working, so I picked up one of those handy phones to call for assistance. When it rang back, I assumed it was the IT people calling to help, but... much to my horror, it was a school calling to set up an interview. I couldn't hear them, because my class had erupted in serious uncontrolled frivolity and when they gave me the number, it was a mix of letters and numbers, so I had no idea when they wanted to meet me, or how to get a hold of them to clarify.
Yup, I'm clearly a little up tight about this year's job hunt.
PS. Another school (that I had sent additional information to) has canceled their search b/c of the current economic crisis.. that's 5 that I applied to and 6 total in just my field(s). GRRRRR
