Well University starts in 11 days for me. Which means my hours of work have both increased and decreased. Increased in that I'll be working my @ss off trying to get some decent grades, and decreased in the actual work I will be paid for. I think I've now decided that it was a bit of bad timing, everything that I've done over the last few months.
Having married in July last year, with a full time job under my belt, then quitting that job just before Christmas (best timing of all). I then obtained a job in the same organisation but on a casual/relief basis earning better money, but at the wrong time as everyone had already had their breaks over Christmas. And but of course, a few weeks later our rent went up.
