What sessions am I going to today?
12:00pm: "Still Interviewing Although We've Made Our Choice"
1pm: "Judging Work with No Intention of Hiring: A Panel"
2pm: "Why Did I Apply for this Job? A Rhetorical Question"
3pm: "Coping With Another Year of Grad School" (location: bar)
My flight to SD for #assa2020 is delayed, kinda like my earning years since I don't have a job offer yet.

Driveway salt is in high demand due to ice-stickiness. Walmart sold out of it because of price-stickiness. #econ #shortage #mybesttweet
I haven't received a fly out yet. But my fly was down during my entire TA session today. Same thing? #econtwitter

Let's be honest, econ graduate school is basically 5-6 years of the #BirdBoxChallenge
Twitter just congratulated me on reaching 100 followers which, ironically, is the same number of interviews I didn't get this year. #ASSA2019

It's ok to do this if you are broke, since we all believe in Consumption Smoothies for breakfast.
I'll here all week, folks. #ASSA2019
My #1 piece of advice for job market candidates: Order room service for breakfast. It’s worth the extra $ to skip the super long Sbux line (& associated stress) in the a.m.
Place your order the night before. Trust me.

Good luck & have fun!

I told my mom I'd be interviewing in hotel rooms all weekend and I'm pretty sure she now thinks I'm a sex worker. She said, "I support your life choices" #ASSA2019

I got a teaching gig this summer. Which is great. Not because I like to teach but because I like to procrastinate my research.

Yeah. That's what I want to do right now. Work more on this research project that a) someone else already has done with better data and b) I hate with all my heart. teapaw.org/jayvanbavel/status/980…
