Oct 2023

when I started my doctoral fellowship. I don't think it had all it's "stuff" because I never did get it to work right. I ended up buying a new PC for home and taking my old PC to work. My department, within the flagship university of the state, was too cheap to provide decent PCs for doc students. I am still a bit bitter about that. At least they covered my tuition and fees and gave me a stipend. The department chair was later forced to resign over financial "irregularities" in the department. Screw that guy.
