so ... pissed ... can't .... stop ... shaking

Today was the day most of us Ph.D. students expected to get raises.

I didn't happen. It happened this time last year.

Now they say it might be Jan 2008.

Where are my anxiety drugs?

Comments:
Days like this almost make me happy to have a huge pile of tree in the back yard that needs split by hand.
 
A couple of hours splitting made me feel somewhat better. But only somewhat. Plus, it sounds like it will be August '07.

I wish these people could tell me how they make their decisions. August '07 doesn't align with a calendar year, the school year, or fiscal year, or when they gave out raises last year.

If we are employees, this is really bad treatment. If we are worthless Ph.D. students -- and we are -- then maybe this is expected. I guess I should kiss their feet because we are getting any raise at all.
