Okay - here's the interview report. Da da da daaaaaaa...... It went great!!!!!!!

Long breakfast with 3 of the scientists (search committee members) and a french bakery. Ah, real food. Then came the seminar. I kicked butt on my seminar - got a great response! Then lunch (with 4 comm. members now) at a Thai restaurant - yummmmm. Again - ah, real food. Then a tour of the facilities. Then the formal interview (with a panel of 5) felt a bit like my orals when qualifying for Ph.D. candidacy, but I nailed the questions - for 1 1/2 hours. They told me I answered some of them exactly how they would have. Then I met with the rest of the scientists in the Unit and then home. They told me they are bringing in 2 other candidates this week to make sure everything is equitable.My feeling is that I should get it, based on comments that were made. And, to top it all off - I liked the facilities and the people were great! They think of their technicians as colleagues, not employees - which is very different from where I am now and is a much better way to work! They indicated they would like to have me there as soon as possible - like October! I should hear something official next week! So ... uh... it looks good!

Now - I go to work. This should be an interesting day.
