So it was a very very VERY bad day
Feb. 15th, 2019 10:06 pmFirst off my blood sugar went to 310 last night (that could put you in the hospital but since I know how to treat it, I tried). I'm not even sure why. Mostly I had two pieces of chocolate and nothing but protein all night. Then I couldn't sleep.
All day the blood sugar has been between 250-300 all day putting me in a very bitchy mood. And then less than a half hour before the faculty association meeting (technically our union) the college president tells them to deliver news that should have been held until the full faculty meeting in the last week of the month. That wasn't the forum for this and most of us weren't there. I wasn't because they hold the meetings when I have class.
Basically they're making us justify our programs because they're going to cute 25% of all programs and faculty (because the moron board still thinks this runs like a Wal-Mart and closing a store will save them). And the best part is they won't tell us until MAY. That means we can't even look for new jobs (because universities hire on a schedule and if they hire in the summer it's usually an emergency) AND students in cut programs won't be able to apply to new schools. Or are they going let the freshmen in these programs finish out their three years and then the programs are gone? We DONT KNOW!
I'm like just make us a fucking community college and be done with it. Half the faculty were in tears and half were so enraged we're lucky there isn't a smoking crater where this school is. ANd on top of this shit salad we sprinkle the bacon bits of Trump's fake emergency.
Want to know how many jobs there are in my field? Yeah in PA (where i'd like to return) None. IN pointing this out to mom she yells at me for being so pessimistic.
Of course there's also the utter bitchiness that accompanies high blood sugar. Today is NOT the day to light my fuse (looking at you mom. Please, tell me how happy should I be that I could be losing a job in a field where there's like 12 in the entire country?)
The only bright spot was getting something on AO3 (The Dragon's Heart) for International FanWork day. I might work on that meme tonight because I need a distraction. I've taken a HUNDRED units of insulin so far. That is a huge amount, a dangerous amount and my sugar isn't budging. It might. I can feel it because with the pens you can't pull back the plunger and see if you're in a vein. The last 40 units went right into a vein. Also dangerous. So I'll be awake until at least 2 if not 3 AM to be sure I'm safe.
