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.

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.
