Dr. Field hired a friend of hers to do my job. This lady will eventually take over the business side of Center Animal. I was told if I wanted to continue working I could come in on holidays or days when they needed someone. She asked me if I could finish out the next couple weeks, and then stop in January. You can all imagine how hard it was for me not to just hit her. I had to explain that this was not a hobby, and that I actually needed employment, being as I don't live at home and do go to college. She pretty much backed me into a corner and forced me to quit. She would not give me my last paycheck, which is against the law, but told me she'd mail it to me. I am very unpleased with that. She then tried to hug me, to which I asked if I could just go. I grabbed Elphie's file and didn't say a word on the way out. Dr. Field just told Gina and Kim that someone needed to watch the front. I didn't break down till I was on the road and it all sunk in. I came to work today and everything was fucked up and in a different hand writing. Then some lady called and said she started yesterday and left her purse there. At that point I confronted Dr. Mulder who told me she had no clue what was going on either. I then had to file new W2 forms that were faxed over for new lady. I called Dr. F to ask what the fuck, and she made me wait till 4. Then when she came in she made me wait another half and hour and then told me the news. I was also told I could come back in June when new lady has her kid, but only to work a couple months.

I feel very used right now. Like I was just filling a spot until she could hire her friend. I may have missed the window I have to see my Mom for Christmas, since I wasn't going because I had to work and now tickets are insane. And once again I am looking for a job. ONLY IN SANTA CRUZ. New rule. I really need to talk to the internship people though, and figure out what hours would be like for Long Marine lab. If it's going to be uber time consuming, fuckit, I am not working till I am out of school. My Mom is making enough money, and I would rather just get this done and over with - and not try to stress myself into oblivion.

What worries me more is how things come in threes.
Dumped
Fired
......?
