  Funding. No funding. My salary is at risk of being cut. Oh yes. We are happy campers this morning. I was running late as it was because nobody was home to force me to get up. Yes, I admit it, I can't get up without a kick in the ass!
So, I took a shower, dried my hair, got dressed, fed the cats, put down extra food and water, packed to go home this weekend...and then left for work. REALLY late. I got here, buckled my shoes, and came in to read an e-mail that said our program's grant wasn't funded by the government agency that funds it and so we're basically in a state of not knowing what this means.
At my own institution, the program funding from the grant increased my salary. So, being selfish, if they can't maintain my salary at what it is, I don't know how loyal I will feel. Graduate school... Oh this day. This day. It's appropriate that it's Friday the 13th. Oh how appropriate.
