2008. I was doing a science research internship when Stephen Harper became the Prime Minister of Canada. The department budget got slashed more than halfway into the fiscal year.
The PI pulled the two interns into his office and said: "I can only afford to hire one of you for the next 4 months."
I volunteered to leave and found another internship, but that was really rough for the team. We had no idea even more cuts would be coming in the following years.
May is Beige.
