Just got an email from admin letting me know my department budget has literally been cut in half for next year. So not happy right now.
Whoa! I... I think I'm having a thought. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a thought. Now I'm having a plan. Now I'm having a wiggins.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

The status is NOT quo.

Our wings are not tired.
Oh, no! What will that affect? Salaries? Books?

Oh, no! That's awful, Pix.

Books, field trips, events (like our annual Shakespeare performance).

Oh, man. Is enrollment way down?

Basically I have just enough to cover the bare necessities for the department and nothing to cover anything special. Which sucks. I'm getting seriously disillusioned about my school.
ETA: Enrollment is down a bit and financial aid is up, but still.

That entirely sucks and I am sorry to hear it, Pix.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Oh, Pix. That really sucks.
So apparently what I needed to complete my Monday was a panic attack. At least I'm home now, where the Xanax lives. It was a weird stop at the grocery store, though.

Thanks. It really isn't the end of the world, but it bums me out. Shakespeare on the Green is a really special thing we do every year (free performance of a Shakespearean play in the courtyard by the amazing professional Independent Shakespeare Company), and we've always budgeted for it so we can offer it free of charge to our school community. If I can't find a donor, I won't be able to do it at all. I also won't be able to do any field trips or special events. I expected this on a public school budget, but it's disheartening at a school that prides itself on offering a special experience for its students and charges a premium for that privilege. Diamond shoes and all, I know, but still. Bums me out.

Pix, that's awful. I'm sorry.
{{{smonster}}} I hate that you have to deal with so many panic attacks.
