I suspect your institution and ours are in similar shape. Having just read the article in Vanity Fair about Harvard's endowment mess, and knowing what my UC friends are dealing with, I have vowed never to think the grass is greener somewhere else.Dr. Viragohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03960384082670286328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27054305.post-44497038815981540382009-07-11T15:54:53.831-04:002009-07-11T15:54:53.831-04:00Joy!

C. will certainly be there, and I probably will--just a matter of how much driving I can/wish to do for the rest of the summer.<br /><br />WN: I thought of you, and Dr. V., and Bardiac when we drove past the campus.<br /><br />And Susan: yes, exactly. And though my own system isn't in great shape for the long-term, our salaries haven't yet been affected--indeed, I'm pretty sure both our cost-of-living and merit raises remain in effect. It's interesting how varied and uneven the effects of the recession are, and how little the usual markers of academic prestige have to do with it.Flaviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17832765671541392835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27054305.post-43532618504983484872009-07-11T07:14:34.585-04:002009-07-11T07:14:34.585-04:00Like Sisyphus, don't rub it in.

There are many things to like about SoCal, and I used to be sad that I'd had to leave (although, by no coincidence, I haven't been homesick for it since <br />I moved to Adventure City; apparently homesickness and unhappiness correlate!), but, with you, I'm really glad I'm not there dealing with budget issues.What Now?https://www.blogger.com/profile/04017629066466055668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27054305.post-7982187743122829222009-07-10T22:04:36.005-04:002009-07-10T22:04:36.005-04:00I'm so glad you guys had fun!
