It has come to my attention that some recent attempts to post job notices vanished rather than being forwarded to me.
The job posting process depends on some code I wrote 22 years ago, although it seems like merely 21 years ago subjectively speaking. The realization that the program had broken provoked strong negative emotion in me, but perhaps here I was implicitly blaming “R2” despite the fact that he or she had never laid eyes on the thing. I finally chilled and thereby came to accept three things about the universe. The universe is subject to (1) the Second Law of Thermodynamics, (2) incessant bombardment by cosmic rays, and tellingly, (3) Murphy’s Law. So I took a deep breadth, dodged a ray, and fixed the darn thing.
The upshot is that if you have recently attempted to post a job notice on ELMAR, and said notice failed to appear on the next Wednesday mailout, feel free to redo the submission.
Look out for those rays and check here for ELMAR posting instructions.
