If it's not one thing, it's another. I guess it's just the nature of life itself.
I finally got to talk to Mark and am feeling a million times better about everything. I'm really excited and really happy about it. It couldn't happen sooner...just one month...I can wait one month.
BUT now I get an email from George saying that my hours have been continually flagged for reasons beyond my understanding...and my forecast which allowed for 70 hours a month is being cut down to 10. I only charge 25 of that 75 because I didn't want to appear abusive, but now, mother grumble grumble. Beggars can't be choosers. I guess that's just how the universe works. I needed the job to pay for tuition when the exchange rate had reached historical highs...now that things are easing, so is my opportunity to earn. I can't complain too much, I am getting off easy compared to my comrades. It makes the margin between what I have and what I can potentially stand to keep away from tuition that much smaller...and has increased the likelihood of needed to take out student loans for 5th year.
Another semi-long day. But at least we get out at 3. I wanted to go shopping to start gearing up for the big move, but it's not essential. We can make do with what I've got.
