So Screwed

Found out that we were forced to take a pay cut in the double digits for the rest of this contract. God knows what will be happening in the fall with the new one. Even that might not keep this place going. Colleges are shutting down all over. What bothers me most is they did it in a way that it was impossible to work out a better way of doing this because let's be honest this debt didn't appear over night.

I didn't mention yesterday that I had a horrible day in PT. I felt like I was 80. And now both of my legs hurt. I'm fairly sure I have a groin pull on the NON-affected side. I told her when I was doing it, something felt wrong. Not once have I had muscle weakness and fatigue symptoms and we only upped the reps by 1 set. I'm in so much pain today.

The creek is cresting. My renters insurance doesn't cover floods. It won't stop raining. Yeah this week sucks. Too much more of this and I'm not sure I hold my head up any more.

hahaha someone sent me that last night. My question was who did they think I was hiring to clean it. I have actually considered a bed and breakfast but realized a) I hate to clean b) i hate mornings c) hell I hate breakfast.

There's a thought. Hmmm then again I can't get anyone to buy a novel. Not sure I can convince them to do something risky like give me m oney

Oh Hon...

Eeeeee... Sorry about the pay cut and all that continuing mess with the school :( And here's hoping all that water stays far away from you (and ELD).

creeks are cresting here too, but none near us just yet

Rain rain go away!

Ugh, so horrible. I hope at least the floods recede. So nasty about the pay cut, but hope that means that your school doesn't close--at least not till after you retire.

Honestly I don't see this school being here by the time I retire

I would really like to think that somebody like you would be really attractive to another school, but I know you want to stay in your area.

Oh actually I do not want to stay here. I want to be ANYWHERE but here but there aren't jobs.

And I'm not attractive because I'm a medical doctor and not a phd. I can't remember a single interview I went on where I wasn't asked in all seriousness 'when do you think you'll get a REAL doctorate?' How about the time you start doing surgery, that's when

yes and insulting and literally every time I interviewed (including here) I heard it. But not being a research phd hampers me greatly in science

Have you thought about community colleges? I know you wouldn't get to teach the advanced classes that are what you probably want to do, but possibly they wouldn't have that attitude.

I started there and they asked it too. Also they pay at least 10 grand less than where i am at most places.

That is the very sad truth.

I am so sorry. I hope things get better for you soon. You deserve a break.

That's awful news. Are they trying to drive teachers out with the low salaries?

The paranoid part of me thinks they'd like us all to be uneducated and pliable (points to what's happening in WI)

I laugh that someone else sent you that B&B.

It seems remarkably sucky around the area in general.
