I have a 15 page research paper worth 35% of a final grade due in less than 2 weeks.. a presentation with a written (4 pgs) and oral component in a week and a half worht 25% of a final grade.. a law assignment worth 20% of a final grade due in 3 weeks.. a simulation exercise in 3 weeks worth 15% of a final grade.. and a 10 page paper worth 15% of a grade as well as a 25 page research paper worth 50% of a final grade both due in 1 month.
My fucking boss has me scheduled to work 5 days this week, including a split shift on sunday meaning the entire day is swallowed up. I asked him after he put the last schedule up to drop me down to a couple nights a week. I'm fucked. I am royally fucking fucked! This is humanly impossible to manage and I am freaking the fuck out. I can't even concentrate on anything right now because I am crying because I am so fucking stressed out. I am tempted to quit my job but I'm worried about not being able to get it back or find another one when I want to start working again and I really can't afford to not have an income as I am barely scraping by as it is.. I have just enough left on my credit line for one more month's rent and my student loan still hasn't come in... I don't know what to do I am so worried and stressed right now it is making me sick.. I've had a stomach ache for like a week and headaches and I've been dead tired from staying up late and not being able to sleep. If things get any crazier I know I'm going to end up having another nervous breakdown and I really don't want that.. I haven't had one in almost a year and I would like to keep it that way.... but I can already feel one coming on Posted on 11/06/09, 02:11 pm |

I sooo feel your pain. I'm currently in grad school and working full time at a stressful job. I'm in a profession where I'm supposed to be helping people although I've decided after today that I hate everybody. I'm so kidding (well, kind of..rough week). Until this week, I had a billion papers due and a billion tests in all of my classes. I wasn't sleeping. In three days, I averaged maybe about five hours of sleep total. As you know, it's extremely damaging to your mental and physical health. It sounds like you have a good plan set for yourself though. If you could possibly take off from work, I think that you definitely should for the sake of your sanity. Good luck!!! :)

Soo apparently one of the girls I had texted yesterday while trying to get some of my shifts covered told my boss (before I got to work last night) that I really can't be working that much and explained to him how difficult things were getting for me (she is also a friend, not just a coworker though we met at work) and when I got to work he surprised me by having changed the schedule.
I walked into work and he walks over to me with a big scowl on his face and says "you and me need to talk" I was like oh shit I'm in trouble! So as we're walking to the back he's like "do ya love me?" with a sneaky smile and I'm like "well that depends what we're about to talk about I guess!" He takes me to the back, pulls down the schedule, puts it in front of me to look at and says "now don't say I never did anything for you!" I was like ooohhh thank god!! He had taken off 3 of my 6 shifts for next week, and the ones I had most wanted to get rid of!! Now I only have to work wednesday night (which will be a short little shift cuz we're not busy during the week), Friday night and Saturday morning! I wil be done by 2 on Saturday and have all of Sunday off now!!! I know in the original post it sounded like I have a really shitty boss.. but he's actually a really good person.. he just doesn't use his brain sometimes when he makes the schedule so it gets really frustrating. I've asked him sooo many times now to drop me down to 2 - 3 shifts a week and he keeps forgetting about it! Buuut, he really does care and tries his best to keep us all happy, he's just forgetful. But he makes up for it by doing things like what he did yesterday.. and when one of us has plans after work or things he have to do he will make sure we're the first one cut or whatever, and never questions us if we call in sick (unless it's ALL the time)... really good boss.
