morning to frannie, ces and that night owl 
Hi Bear.
I think some days the machines at those places pretty much "just collect".
So the final word on my current job is that i take a 10% cut in salary (and hours) and the job will last through mid-August.
I also have a boatload of vacay time to use before Jan 1st. They're cutting how many days you can retain without it being rolled over into sick time, from 44 to 33, and I've accumulated 57 over the past 9 years. I didn't mind rolling the days over into sick time, because they can be used towards retirement service. Useless if i don't find another job at the university.
c'est la vie...first world problems
