Work continues to be a bit more than the hours I am getting paid, but I think the boss has decided to give all these interstate clients back to the other state when these couple of months are over. What management have tried to sell as a growth opportunity is really more work and stress for the same pay.
Mo has decided that she really doesn't want to work, she isn't a really big spender so the anxiety that working gives her doesn't really have any reward apart from saving money. As she is on semester break at the moment we have told her just work out the shifts that she is given over the next month and then make a decision. We also talk to her about going to counselling for her anxiety, and she has booked herself in. The job kept ringing her to do shifts when she was trying to get stuff finished at the end of semester but instead of just telling them to back off she wouldn't so she was stressing about work and the amount of projects she needed to finish. I think she is a lot happy now that we have told her that she doesn't have to work if it is causing that much anxiousness and we are happy for her to concentrate on school.
She has plans to work on her business, get a portfolio started and website and maybe do some small markets over summer, so she will not be idle.
I finished another Carry All, basted quick quilt 3 and worked on some embroidery and cross stitch so my hands have been pretty busy.

Working while going to school, especially in a project laden subject like art can't be easy. The SIT has often wondered how her classmates that have regular jobs manage when professors move up deadlines or add last minute projects. It's all she can do to manage the time and her work hours are really flexible. Hope Mo finds a good balance and her efforts to get her portfolio together. Sounds like your work has been on par with what's been going on at our place, more work but no additional resources. Happy stitching.
