Well, I might lose my job.

How, might you wonder, would someone as capable as me, be in jeapordy of losing a silly job in the service industry? Well, aparently I am not all together when it comes to rememberence. Today I made another mistake- I forgot to put someone's order in for a full ten minutes, causing a massive delay for a customer's food. What was the result? A pissed off, crying manager (he is gay) and me sent into a spiralling tail-spin of shitty emotions. I felt everything from inadequete to just plain lazy- which isn't really me. Perhaps my mind was still reeling from its trip this week, perhaps I had overslept or maybe my blood sugar was to low this morning and now my memory is fucked. Whatever it was, I looked like I was "in a daze" according to my manager. So that sucks.

On the bright side, there is always unemployment. They pay you 2/3 of your regular paycheck just to look (or prented to look) for a job. That would leave me with some extra cash to tie me over until we can get some funding for Eschaton and allow me more time to work with the team here, to generate some actual progress (something that seems to escape us when I leave). I would lose a considerable amount of monthly income though- for now I'll just stick to the job. Unemployment should be a backup.

Is Jake eligible for unemployment?

On another note- I don't think I am getting financial aid this year for some odd reason. It appears that I got my documents all in order (altho there have been some issues in the past with my FAFSA being ontime but percieved as late) but I don't know why they didn't offer me any uni loans. The parental loan for a gazillion dollars isn't going to get me anywhere as neither of my parents will take a loan out for my schooling.

What am I to do.
