AAAS: Back in the Running
Welp, I got an email from the AAAS people today informing me I haven’t been rejected yet. Yay!
The story behind this starts a few days ago when I went back to AAAS because…I dunno, I’m a masochist? While there, I noticed that my status had changed from “Not Selected” to “Eligible”. Thus: confusion.
So, heeding the words of my friends in regards to the job search, I decided to be aggressive (for me) and write and ask them what was going on.
Turns out the system apparently marked a few applications “Not Selected” inadvertently. Mine happened to be one of them. It’s “good” to know that without my job OCD, I might have avoided all those fun emotions. 
Oh, and I have decided to squelch that voice inside me that is saying “There is a reason only a few apps, including yours, got marked that way, Matt.” I have promised her, my love, that this week I am positive. So, I will be positive for her.
Go sweetie!
