| I swear today has been stress stress stress so far. My 3yo shetland had to be loaded on the side of a main road because the transporter has a nutjob one on that apparently will fall over if they drive up a hill (so fuck knows how they're coping driving up the bloody country but hopefully he doesn't end up traumatising poor Fudge 😬). But she loaded without hesitation apparently and is now a good way into her journey. Mother's done something horrible to her wrist and is refusing to go to see a doctor about it even though she can't even open doors, and we just had a delivery of very expensive, very urgent electrical cables rock up with the boxes absolutely destroyed because the guy was loading them in the rain. What a bloody day- ill be glad when the pony is safely in her stable |

| I thought an AA degree would help get a little better job. Well, I'm stocking shelves at a grocery store. O.o |

| 367 Days You have logged in 367 days in a row. You earned: Capture Pass - Free Horse Capture lol |
| ~Savy~ |
| I graduated high school with my AA, so at least i'm not paying for a bunch of the BS gen ed classes |
| The Old Gods |
| 🙃I'm honestly just paying the bare minimum because paying the IRS taxes on whatever gets forgiven is going to be leagues cheaper than actually paying the loans back + interest |
| Stormsong Manor |
| I put myself through college and at 36 am still paying student loans while also trying to save for my own kid's education. |
| Stormsong Manor |
| Too expensive to go to at least four years of college with little guarantee of a decently paying job when you get out. |
| The Old Gods |
| Yeah, it's really not cool for them to leave you scrambling like that. |
| ~Savy~ |
| Yep, I think we also have a lawsuit going for wrongful termination since everyone got slashed so randomly for budget reasons |
| ~Savy~ |
| One of our neuro classes got canceled a week before finals. Took half the neuro cohort below full-time enrollment, and we got zero help in getting into classes because everything was waitlisted. That was a trip, and now i'm in a random criminology class lmao |
| Stormsong Manor |
| I already have my resume out to a few other colleges for similar positions starting at like 70k/year. I kinda lost it when I took the pay cut due to health insurance costs going up and the university not compensating me for the difference (they did it for faculty but not staff of course) |
| ~Savy~ |
| Our uni cut a bunch of language programs, communications, and film studies. We are very much a theatre/music type school. Now my neuroscience & soc are on the chopping block, because who needs those in this climate? |
| Stormsong Manor |
| We just added a BS Cybersecurity program in addition to our masters program, which I thought would maybe increase enrollment this semester. It did not |
| ~Savy~ |
| Yep, sounds about right. We got a new president after being $20 mil in debt. STEM cuts are coming and due in March, apparently. But hey, we're adding a women's flag football team! :D That'll save us |
| Stormsong Manor |
| Enrollment is down, faculty are leaving, the president's making more money than ever, and I'm making less than I did before my last raise because healthcare costs went up so violently :D :D :D |
| ~Savy~ |
| Don't ya love being at a university that's in debt, Ven? My uni is struggling too, both my departments are falling apart rapidly >.> |
