The February JFP is complete DOOM. 30 listings total (US & outside, any rank, including post-docs and not-strictly-academic stuff). Maybe 4 involve tenure or tenure-track.
Have we hit rock bottom yet?

APA Session Rule #6
After the comment has been given the speaker may respond for a few minutes (at most). But the speaker's response must actually respond to the comments. The response to the comments is not simply a second opportunity for the main speaker to talk.

APA Session Rule #7
After giving the commentary, the commentator should pretty much remain silent for the rest of the session, unless a question from the floor is explicitly directed toward him or her (in which case the response should be very brief), or the main speaker explicitly calls upon the commentator for elaboration.

APA Session Rule #8
Even if the speaker is your student, colleague, or sweetheart, you are not permitted to provide from the floor your own answers to the questions he/she is asked.

APA Session Rule #9
If you feel that you should preface your question with a statement to the effect that you don't know much about the issue addressed in the paper, or have not kept up on the literature that's central to the paper's argument, don't bother asking your question.
APA Session Rule #10
When you're the first to ask a question during the Q&A, and it's a long, barely coherent, and largely off target one, you don't get to leave the room until the session is over.

DO NOT neglect to thank the department's administrative assistant after she goes out of her way at the last minute to make photocopies of your job talk handout because you forgot to do so yourself.

On-Campus Interview Don't , #2394
You're on your on-campus interview and you're out to a nice dinner with two senior members of the department. All of the most important matters have been covered in the conversation: what it was like working with your supervisor, how you deal with a certain kind of objection to your view, what your next research project will be, etc. All in all, things are going well.
DO NOT neglect to ask about what your dinner hosts are working on.
