Anatomy of an Interview: T-minus 12 hours

I think I have discovered the solution to pre-interview jitters:

1. Be very, very sleepy. It is hard to be anxious when you are having trouble staying awake.
2. Drive into an unfamiliar city at night, in the middle of a thunderstorm/torrential downpour, complete with lightning, power outages, and tornado warnings. Trying to find your hotel in these conditions will distract you from any anxiety you may be feeling about dozens of people judging you and your work to determine if you're worthy of a faculty position.
3. Actually get your job talk finished and in a state where when your supervisor asks how your talk is coming along you can reply, "My slides are f--king awesome!" and actually mean it.

That last one might be the real reason I'm more relaxed.
