I... I just can't win. I found employment about a month ago (front line fast food position rather than the back line position I thought it was) and they immediately work me more than I wanted hours-wise. I tolerated it for a while (I mean, hey, paycheck!) until my grades started to suffer (30hrs week irregular hours plus school wasn't the best setup). So, I ask my bosses to cut me back a little bit, so I can focus on school more. They did... to the tune of 20 hours gone. I just wanted 8 hour days over a 3 day weekend. I now have two five hour days for the entire week. I'm tempted to just quit the job, but that would put my right back into the situation from early January. No paycheck and still no financial aid from the university.

One ray of sunshine: I'm meeting tomorrow with a state agency that specializes in connecting people with disabilities with good quality employment and providing in-depth job training for said employment. I've got some paperwork to fill out tonight and I meet them in the morning. I'm excited for that!
