meitantei_cjDo NOT work for the MTA. They will screw you every single time.
Something's gone wrong with Mom's retirement, and while she can still retire on the 12th, she'll be going from next week's paycheck (which was supposed to have been here last week, by the way, but the MTA decided not to pay anyone out on Worker's Compensation) to the end of MARCH with NO money. The MTA is trying to blame the somewhat-new girl in Human Resources, whom they say "should have known better".
This is going to be interesting. I told Mom to get the lawyer involved. We can't live on my unemployment money, and that's IF they don't decide to throw me off UI because they want to be assholes about my schooling... which I won't even know about because apparently I have to call Albany to obtain a form to send to the Special Programs Unit. (Why the HELL don't they make that form available to you when you click the radial button that says you can't work because you're in school?!) Being a state agency, they're closed, so I sent them an e-mail.
Seriously, aside from Creative Writing Workshop, my life is a big ball of stress right now. Mom's issues with money, stupid unemployment (I'm worried they won't approve me), and Prof. White shoving twelve weeks of work into a six-week class and me being two weeks behind because of sickness and technical issues. At least I get a week to write the essays. I told her earlier (but not in so many words), no way in hell was I writing BOTH in one day. I have too many potential careers to look through. But, that's what I get for switching classes and ending up with the chair of the Cooperative Education department. I'm not looking for easy, but other than the self-assessment, this class is the biggest waste of time.
Sigh. I want lots of money and a trip across the world. I just want to take a break from everything.
Got the Graphic Narrative syllabus that Prof. Mayer would have used had the class not gotten canceled. Good lord, there's a lot of work. A lot of supplies, too.
Yay for someone at NBC giving people the names of the songs on Minute to Win It. This one's pretty darn awesome, if short. 1:31?! Time for Audacity.
