I'm getting a little sick of my job taking advantage of me. The one guy that does the job full time (so he works 9-6pm M-F) has sent me a text message every day for the month and a half that I've been working there, to come in early. Sometimes it's only a half an hour, but sometimes it's four hours. Which would be GREAT because I need the money badly, but the reason I took the job was because I would be working so little with school, which is still in session and I am currently about to start taking final exams for.
So I end up trying to do what I can, go in as early as possible, but the few times I have said an outright "NO" when I went into work the full time guy wouldn't speak to me. Like, I said hello and he said nothing, and so on.
Well, they hired two of us to work the weekend and evening shifts, so we split them. The other part time guy went to the Coachella music festival in California that's like three days long. He had asked me to cover his shift on Sunday, so I'd be working all day long with no break. That's fine, we're not even open too horrendously long on Sunday, and I obviously haven't got any school to go to....
But I ended up working his Friday night shift as well, get a call from the full time guy to cover part time guy's morning shift TODAY which he had already agreed to cover. He left last night talking about getting "wasted" and surprise, surprise, got too hung over. So he wanted me to work all day Saturday and all day Sunday. Mind you, I wouldn't have had a day off in five days, plus I'm working Monday as well.
So I didn't reply, I let myself sleep until about 11 (after waking up with mean cramps--ew) and finally text messaged him saying I could come in about 12:30-1PM. He was nice and said he could probably make it until 2pm....
But really, what do you think? Is he taking advantage of me or does he have the right? While I appreciate the extra hours, I do not have time to accept all of them until summer comes. What bothers me, really, is his immaturity. He, in essence, is our first contact "boss".

generally i have trouble saying "no'
i do better if i add "fuck" right before it
Down here, you hear a million stories (especially from docs) about how women come to their 6 week check up already pregnant while exclusively breastfeeding. I really do think it depends on the woman. For me, using BF as birth control worked with my son and a bit with Nalia. If a woman has a history of getting pregnant quickly after giving birth, not so much.
