Urgh and stuff
I had the meeting with the Centre Manager today about my pay and being completely fucked over. Yeah, I don't think anything will come of it. Was flat out refused a part-time contract because of the budget cuts (thanks Government...). But, I can say I did the right thing and that I tried. And they now know that I'm thinking of not coming back next semester. So, I have to wait and see what they say. Should know what the verdict is by the end of the week. Not holding my breath.
My week will consist of marking, marking and more marking! Hooray :| Results have to be on the system on Friday and I have so much work to do still. What's even more awesome is that because I have so much work to do I can't pick up extra work. And because I'm sessional, I don't get paid. Yup. Sucks to be me. I at least still have a class at NMIT Wed and dog-walking Thursday so at least I have some income, but it's going to be tight, especially when my fucking bitch-whore SE didn't fucking process my pay in time and so I didn't get paid last fortnight. Because apparently I don't need to eat. Not fucking happy Jan.
OzComicCon this coming weekend! Man, that has crept up! Should be an awesome weekend and I will have finished marking so can enjoy it! Pissed with myself that I am sure I have put on even more weight since Supanova and it's totally my own fault. But, it should still be fun nonetheless.
I am planning to get back into crafting and arty stuff. I did a short course last Sunday in Contemporary Illustration. It was fun and cool to learn some new styles. I didn't do anything marvellous but it forced me to be creative which is what I needed. So, I think I need to get back into my card-making stuff and do something arty. I'm going to call up about studying Graphics part time. Haven't decided if I will definitely do it, it depends on how I can juggle work and study because I need to pay bills still. But, I need something more. And I am so miserable right now. And, with the budget cuts I might need to look for a new job soon anyway. The whole Animal Sciences department at VU is closing down. I don't think our jobs are safe. Such a short-sighted decision, Government. Fuck, Balleiu is a fucktard. Seriously, so many poor decisions and this is going to have a roll-on effect in a couple of years when there's no skilled workers to meet the demands. Fucking genius. Anyway, I'm thinking I might head away from Science and delve into Graphics. Even thinking about computer graphics or something. Idk, idk. I'm having an identity crisis.
Fic not happening. But, I'm hoping that when things settle over the holidays I'll have time to do some and get back into fandom. Here's to hoping!
