Well, at least they told me.
I'm not broken up about it, but a tad disappointed. My 10-year-old daughter was more disappointed that I was. That sorta surprised me.

As a side note, I did check if the Smithsonian was looking for any techie geeks. They are, but the pay isn't good enough over what I currently make and/or for the DC area, unless you're a project manager. However, I'm going to keep checking to see if they have another curator or "exhibits specialist" job available: they are hiring for those, but in "Cultural and Linguistic Revitalization" and "Fabrication."
