Man o man o man... we just had a College of Business (COB) meeting with the Provost and the VP of Finance for Alluvian Flood Plains State University...
Several degree programs are being analyzed for possibility of elimination... they said that two of the majors are in the COB... I know that my major area has low enrollment... enrollment in my area tends to be cyclical... and it has chosen this time period to be down...
I am worried about my future here...
I posted last week about being called to the Division Chair's office about a matter... and being nervous...
Man... Of course, if it happens, it won't be the end of the world... I have a host of opportunities...
On a more positive note, I donated blood today in Memory of my good friend, Barry... I have mentioned that I donate in memory of my best friend... a physician... who drowned... I miss you, Barry...
...and I survived 'Bootcamp' last night... so Im good to go...
For the record, my trainer does NOT look like this...
I am worried about my position...

Good for you for dontating and I survived the 10 seconds I was able to stomach that show. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm happy your trainer does not look like that. You would have a much harder time. Pun intended.
Good Luck honey!
ReplyDeleteYou got the credentials, you'll always have a good job.

Me too...I wish you the best shoes
ReplyDeleteCheer up Shoes you have a career, and you can teach at other Universities. When I loose my job (and I will it is just a question of when) the selection of auto suppliers is not looking as good).
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear that you are having to worry about your position. I just had my annual review yesterday so I can breathe a little easier for awhile, I guess. Prior to the review, though, I was worried, too. It's a terrible feeling, a stress in your stomach that won't go away until the problem does. I hope it all turns out OK and you find you have worried for no reason.
ReplyDeleteI've been laid off before, its no big thing! You'll be fine! The key is to think of all the things you hate about your current job and all the other things you could do at another job.
ReplyDeleteJust know that I care!
ReplyDelete* Hi there, Kiki... I went to another session of Boot Camp tonight... and I fear it won again... kicked my butt!!!
ReplyDelete* JenJen... thank you... I am afraid I am going to need it... more serious conversations today... and its not looking good... I just don't know... I would be lying if I said I wasn't worried... but its going to be OK... whatever happens... its going to be ok... thank you... :o)
* Hi There, Secretia... Yes... I know... but looking for a job in this economy... at my age... isnt what I want/need to be doing... *sighs* but thank you... things will be ok...
* Darn Girl... I know you care.. thank you for your best wishes... that means a lot... :o)
* Hi, Bathwater... Yes, I know... its just been a shiznitty year... bad luck with a relationship... and now this... I dunno... but its going to be ok...
* Hi there, Memphis Steve.. how's Memphis??? I am hoping... beyond hoping... that I can squeeze another couple of years out... and if I do, great... and if not, I may move to Memphis and move in with you guys... ha!
* Hi there, JennAventures... What do I hate about it? I honestly can't think of anything... what do I love about it?? My crazy colleagues... and the students... as much as they can drive me crazy at times, I LOVE them... but you are right... I will be fine... thank you for stopping in... :o)
