The same problems are in place for my writing colleagues, even with the 4/4 load, because there just aren't enough faculty. Nobody thinks you're a princess (except, of course, being a princess is very nice) :)Dr. Crazyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12457967076373916629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28553339.post-59991906520441656022008-10-23T23:06:00.000-07:002008-10-23T23:06:00.000-07:00Thanks for the support, all...I know it's a bad ti...Thanks for the support, all...I know it's a bad time in general.

There's one in the US, but I don't want to go that route. I already fele displaced enough...going down there alone would be quite hard for me. <BR/><BR/>Sis - I haven't heard anything about the possibility of contractual hires...that'll probably unfold over the next couple of months. Or in January. I don't count on getting much.Hilairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09033740943173352249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28553339.post-53643001324506440822008-10-23T19:07:00.000-07:002008-10-23T19:07:00.000-07:00I'm sorry.

I guess it is some consolation that it's department-wide--so it really isn't about your program--but I can't imagine how hard it is to be plugging along with so little support.heu mihihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08529298049179816825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28553339.post-409698141616881442008-10-23T17:05:00.000-07:002008-10-23T17:05:00.000-07:00Oh, that sucks.

Is there a possibility of (I can't believe I'm about to say this) scrounging up some money for adjuncts or lecturers?Sisyphushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09880634753539329199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28553339.post-37726475948144107372008-10-23T14:48:00.000-07:002008-10-23T14:48:00.000-07:00Oh jeez - that is annoying news, especially for yo...Oh jeez - that is annoying news, especially for your program. It is fortunate that it's not just your program, but it's still not making things at all easier. Are there any opportunities for your elsewhere that are popping up? I've got fingers and toes crossed for that!medieval womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00457130525946143002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28553339.post-52052008139912997272008-10-23T11:50:00.000-07:002008-10-23T11:50:00.000-07:00sorry about that, does not sound good...sorry about that, does not sound good...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28553339.post-58214662096687837802008-10-23T10:45:00.000-07:002008-10-23T10:45:00.000-07:00I think it's a bad time in general.
