APA Eastern Division Meetings: A.K.A. The Meat Market

I am recently back from what was probably the least pleasant APA Eastern meeting I have ever attended. Friends should note that I enjoyed catching up as usual. However, the fact that I spent most of the meeting fending off a stomach bug and conducting job interviews combined for a less than optimal couple of days. On the up side, I was able to catch up with a number of folks I knew from graduate school as it seems we were all hiring. There were at least 9 jobs this year with Memphis grads on the interview team. Not bad given that the program only started cranking out PhDs in 1995. The evening receptions were painful to the agaoraphobes among us--too many people in too small a room. But all is well that ends well--I'll know which when it ends.
