Having one of the worst weeks in recent memory!

#1) I couldn't get into the Japanese class I wanted... it was already overbooked
#2) I found out that as a non-matriculated student I don't quialify for any financial aid (the requirement on the FASFA form said "working towards a degree" not "in a degreed program") so no loans
#3) I'VE LOST MY JOB! My boss was getting upset at me because I could only work Thursday and Friday nights, and weekends. Then on tuesday I tell him that I won't be taking my history course tuesday nights so I could work 4-close. Then I come in today (because on tuesday I was scheduled to come in at noon on thursday) and I find that I've been scratched off the schedule for today and tomorrow and I only work saturday. Then I flip pages to the next two weeks and I've been marked as "OFF" for the ENTIRE next two weeks. My boss is out of town until monday, but there is nothing else that this could mean.

So, now I've got $3500 tuition & books on my credit card, still $900 left to pay off my car, less than $500 in the bank and no income! Time to start the job hunt. :(

Boss vs Me

Ouch!

You should talk to the boss, tho, before reacting TOO strongly. Doesn't mean you can't look for, or even find, something else.

It'll get better, trust me.
