Odd Feeling

It’s odd to know I’m not gonna see Drew today.  I miss him, but not hugely.  I think we did have too much togetherness over the past two weeks and a day.  Don’t get me wrong, I loved spending time with him over all those days, even when he would get annoyed or we’d be nitpicky at each other.  On the same token, however, we’re both people who enjoy our space.  And I definitely have to kick my ass into gear as far as the school stuff is concerned.  I’m doing all right in all of my classes except Biology.  Biology, I’m just completely, utterly not caring about.  I mean, all I have to do is score a C, and I’m good, but I’m scraping by to barely even make that.

I’ve got a counseling appointment today, too, so I can get signed up for my last summer class, because the computer decided to be dumb and not let me do it online.  It gave me a message saying I needed to speak with someone in person, or get counselor permission or some such.  Oh, well.  Once it’s done, I’ll be signed up for the summer classes and won’t have to stress about that.

However, I am stressing about employment and how I’m gonna pay for a bunch of different things.  I have no job right now, thanks to Chander firing me because he refused to let me open on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday.  God forbid the freakin’ manager of a store be the one to CLOSE said store on the busiest days of the week!!!  No, instead, he has the assistant do it, and instead of giving me opening hours and doing the schedule he’s supposed to, he fires me after bringing someone else in.  Jackass . . .

I’ve applied for unemployment and when I got a letter saying I was rejected because I "voluntarily left work on January 17th," I sent an appeal.  Unfortunately, that doesn’t help me with money now.  I have credit card bills, cell phone bills, I have to get gas for my car, I’m a thousand miles overdue for an oil change . . .  I don’t know what to do.

And yes, I’ve applied at other places, but since I can only work Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, I don’t know how likely it is that I’ll find a job.

::Sighs::  All in all, over that, the Hedgehog is extremely unhappy.

I just keep telling myself to look ahead.  I’m trying to stay upbeat about my future, even though the now looks bleak.
