My seminar and interviews for promotion here seem to have gone really well so far. I have a few more interviews still to go, but everyone has been very upbeat and really positive. I have been dreading how some people in my department would react to the possibility of my promotion, because I admit to not having been as involved as a could have been with the department as a whole and having felt some negative vibes. But no one has really been at all negative and I have found many of them to be really supportive.
So now I need to prepare for round II.
