That's hilarious, Frankenbuddha.
Buffy: So how'd she get away with the bad mojo stuff? Anya: Giles sold it to her. Giles: Well, I didn't know it was her. I mean, how could I? If it's any consolation, I may have overcharged her.

This where I get to remind everyone that I used to live on Seaman Dr. off the corner of Cumming Ave. HAND TO GOD. At the actual corner of Seaman and Cumming was a CHURCH!!
The next street down was Dykeman and where it crossed Broadway there were the Broad Dyke aparments and the Broad Dyke Meat Market!!! Best neighborhood for names ever.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So the date auction I went to was held by the fraternal organization that was the brother to the one I was part of. My friend and I won our other friend's boyfriend, thinking the three of us would hang out some time, but he took us each out on a nice date! The best date I had in high school, for sure. Partly because he was good guy, partly because there were no questions about where we stood.

Today every staff member got a letter indicating there would be staff cuts in January and anyone might be cut.
The PTB have asked for 50% cuts from the library (overall - not just staff).
Merry Christmas everyone!

The fuck? What, your university is desperate for cash? Seriously? It's not even a public institution!
And library cuts are the death knell for a law library...
I'm sorry, Sparky. Especially after you just moved into the new house. Here's hoping you'll be okay.

Holy crap, Sparky. Good luck!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Oh Sparky, that sucks, on so many levels.

Sparky, ugh. I thought universities were recovering a bit financially. Clearly not.

The University is apparently doing fine, but the law school enrollments are way down (and we are funded by tuition dollars).
I have to think, generally speaking, that those of us who deal directly with providing services to the students and faculty are in a better position to keep our jobs than those people who don't. But who knows.
I am just so angry about the way they've gone about this. Enrollment numbers were available 6 months ago, and they assured us over and over again of the University's support. (It's hard for us to make cuts mid fiscal year because of subscriptions and contracts that penalize us if we cancel early.)
