Sounds like you are still waiting. Hopefully you'll get a few more paychecks out of them. At least you're going to get your unused leave. I'll be thinking about you! Yikes.

Hang in there. I know what you mean about just waiting for the axe to fall. When it finally does, I'll be relieved because I have been planning for the big event for months.

"Freedom of speech" is a sketchy term on Arizona campuses, where it has been sharply curtailed by right-wing wacko legislators who think "College of Liberal Arts and Sciences" means "Hotbed of Communists and Darwinists." Actually, large parts of "Work Less, Live More" are incorporated in my philosophy of "creative malingering." The fact is, I <i>am</i> semiretired. I just don't get paid as though I were. Yet. ;-) It’s against the law to cancel your classes to allow your students to attend protests, and it’s wildly against the law to suggest to your students that they go to a political rally. “Freedom of speech” is a sketchy term on Arizona campuses, where it has been sharply curtailed by right-wing wacko legislators who think “College of Liberal Arts and Sciences” means “Hotbed of Communists and Darwinists.”

In case the worst does happen--have you seen the book "Work Less, Live More"? This is about early "semi-retirement." What may pertain to your situation is his section on taxes. Stay strong!

Professors even canceled classes to let them go and do it. I'm sorry at what this means for you. I work at a bank, every day is like twiddling my thumbs. We've watched people around us drop like flies. It could only be a matter of time for myself. Good luck! I saw on the news that Arizona students were protesting the cuts.
