    I love that album

    I actually woke up yesterday feeling positive, even though I had insomnia the night which followed a little argument. But that's not the issue.

    Okay, here it is. I'm so embarrassed.

    My main school won't even interview me for the job. After all I've done for them. The students love me, I publish on a regular basis, I helped bring in a special program, I've been loyal, and I especially promoted the school through my conferences and publications. The chair gave me some crap reasons, and even said "I know things have been bad for you."  Thanks a f'g lot, a'hole. You just made them worse.  After all I've done for them. I was so stunned I couldn't say anything. He knows I'm building up to reply, and I think they're all going to stay away from me. I will reply. My wife says I should wait on the response because I'm too emotional right now. And she's right. One of the reasons I didn't blast him at the moment was that I had a class coming up and I wanted to be calm for them.

    I don't even want to go back for the rest of the term. I will not be returning after this term at all. It was said "There are some possibilities for adjunct work." I said "I've worked too hard to settle for that." Plus, the other adjuncts, who do not have my reputation, were asked to remain for the fall.  Whenever I do a publication I have to provide a short bio. Thankfully for those coming out this year I can have the name of Backstabbing University removed so they will receive no more publicity off my name.  Yesterday at home I was so ticked I said Dr. Meredith may show up to do the last class.  I will be taking many days off between now and the end of term.

    I can't believe it. All these years of hard work, little pay, no raises, and nothing.  The thing is I think there's going to be a student protest once the word gets out. I wouldn't be surprised if one student goes on a shooting rampage (not really, but you get the point).

    Not to sound defeatist, but right now I'm looking ahead and seeing nothing. My wife wants me to occupy my mind with new projects and make them regret what they've done.

    So nobody here did anything to me.

    Make sure to read the next issue of the Tranny Tribune. Can't say more than that right now.
