At work today they decided to inform me that I will now be working 9-6. And that extra hour isn't overtime either, apparently it's just MY SCHEDULE and therefore they do not have to pay me overtime. According to Bossy, QA employees are SUPPOSED to work 40 hours a week, and that's why it's not overtime... except that I've been doing overtime which was paid, and so has Roman, and we both have regular 35 hours schedules.
I didn't really feel like I had a choice but to accept, but in retrospect I wish I had held out for more money or something. I don't even know anymore. But if you know the boss in question, then I'm sure you understand - he just sort of springs things on you and then usually brings someone to back him up so you feel kind of cornered.
All of this, of course, is the result of Erin refusing flat-out to do any more overtime, despite the fact JP wants to get a second job because they don't have enough money (and they moved into a cheaper apartment). (Although some of you will be happy to hear that FRANCINE ended up doing overtime today lolz. She was still there when Scott, Roman and I all left at 6.)
In more positive news, I'm apparently semi-permanently being moved to the photocopy side because Scott has vacation next week (random), and someone has to finish at 6. So basically I have this week to learn everything else about photocopy that I didn't already know (and that MP forgot that she had taught me, because she is retarded). No more floors for me... hopefully. At this job you never know though.

depression
I know I should be actively doing something about my sucky life but I can basically just crumple at this point.
- I make the least amount of money of everyone in my office.
- I'm not even a real employee.
- I made a budget the basically includes ONLY the bare essentials (rent, hydro, internet, food, cat care) and I am -57$. It's also Caro's birthday and so technically I can't really afford to go, since I have no budget for entertainment anyways (it's like... 16.50 + alchol and snacks, basically... we're going to the Biodome and then to the observation point in the big O, then downtown to a bar.)
- It was actually a very conservative budget that kind of assumed Rob would pay half the cat bills, which he clearly won't; he has no interest in helping me out despite the fact he wanted to keep Piz and said that he would pay for her care. (When I told him it cost 200$ to fix her, he was like "Wow, that sucks.")
- I already have debt and I wish not to add to it, but sadly I'll be using my credit card to buy groceries.
- My mom basically told me "I told you so" re: Rob because she says I never should have moved out with him when I knew he was unreliable. (I almost hung up on her.)
- I hate this apartment; I am constantly tripping over furniture and cats and I feel claustophobic. I don't even have access to all the stuff I wish I did.
- My head is spinning and hurts, and has hurt for the past 3 weeks, along with my ear. My back STILL hurts and I've been having nosebleeds again. No real time to go to the doctor.
- Can't afford to go back to school next year, that's for sure.
I could move, with my imaginary money and/or free movers. I could get a new job (have been trying for months, no responses yet). I will probably have to give a cat away (I can barely afford to feed myself).
I just don't understand how I can work full time and still be unable to afford food and laundry money. I don't understand.

sunday
Poor Kit kit wants to come in... too bad!
Should be an ok week at work... Wait, that's a lie! No more Basil, but lots of people taking days off and getting different trainings, we're going to be short-staffed even more than usual! ♥ Disorganized office!!!!
(Basil was let go by us and also by QA, and then *someone* wrote a threatening email to Mike - or so he had Erin and I believe - and so we got to leave early with security on Friday. No real idea why, Mike is kind of a drama queen.)
Fuck my back hurts :(
