Past three months or so home Depot has been cutting my hours. Don't know if they are going to reduce hours or increase hours. Groceries, health insurance, $$$$$. Skyrocketing. Afraid I will have to get a second job. Exhausted all the time, emotionally fragile and socially awkward. Really can barely handle one job. Nervous disposition. Nervous breakdown. Spiralling out of control. Government benefits not guaranteed sufficient or permanent. s**t. Single. Nobody to be financially dependent on. Fear homelessness. Plenty of jobs had the nerve to make my worthless corpse redundant and it takes a lot of time and energy to trick someone into making the mistake of hiring my own corpse. Zero job skills, autistic

But whatever. Plenty of people are not even authorized to work in the country and they have felony convictions and they still manage to earn enough to pay for cars, children and et cetera. How do they do it?

s**t

Terrified of the future

hours cut at work again

although, for some reason, last year, work scheduled me for a lot of half shifts. this year, the shifts have all been full shifts, thus far. and it is already july.

past five weeks or so, only had to work three days a week. thank buddha. on the other hand, the three days still consecutive.

exhausted all the time. sister (who was a physician) told me to take melatonin. got some from walgreens today. maybe it will make sleep better/worse and cause a lot of side effects.

don't know what to do with spare time.

at loose ends

internet a lot

It's understandable that you are feeling exhausted. Hours being cut is always frustrating for someone and especially when they had bills to pay along with managing to put food on the table. If I were in your shoes, I would be feeling pretty drained too.

working three consecutive days, tough/rough on circadian rhythm/sleep cycle.

however, my availability states that i could only work maximum three consecutive days @ a time. so whatever.

dreading the rain/thunder/lightning/hail.

but whatever. "life" goes on and on and on and on.

next week, only scheduled to work satuday and sunday.

week after that, only work tuesday and friday.

wanna quit my dumpsterfire "job". every week, it gets worse.

Those insects had the nerve to reject my request for change of availability

Its not like they were scheduling me for enough hours anyways

It's like they have been going out of their own way to get me to quit

Constructive dismissal
