Long? Complicated? Just skip to the bottom and help me decide?
A little while ago I just worked at Abercrombie; got paid 5.25/hr and I usually just worked 5 hour shifts sunday and saturday and usually i'm a call in two other days out of the week, sometimes they need me sometimes they don't.
I dropped one day off of my availability, saturday, so i could go and work for my mom. (I'd work for her Wed. and Sat. $8/hr for 5 hr shifts). and Jason was already talking about how we never see each other. And So for at moment I worked (Su, Tues, Wed. Thurs, Fri, and Sat.; the bolded means I'm not garunteed to work).
Jason works every week day and we only get to see each other for a little less than two hours a day. He told me today he picked up another job at Sonic on the weekends (Sat and Sun 11-4). [edit] He picked up the job because he wanted to pay his fines/bills, even after I told him I'd help. and then he told me he wanted to do it himself, rather than let me help. i thought we had gotten to a point where there wasn't "your" money or "my" money, but "our" money, but I guess not... I got upset that he just took the job without telling me first. I got upset that we won't be seeing each other at all because we're both working two jobs and going to school. and I think he's slightly upset that since i picked up the second job, i'd be making more than him
Usually I'm able to see Jason before my shifts on Sun (which start at 2), but with that I won't be able to. So basically, I would only be garunteed to see him on Monday, for about two hours and on Saturdays for a little less than five.
I'm thinking about just quitting Abercrombie all together and pick up more hours at my mom's. My mom and I discussed it briefly and will continue to work it out on Sunday but so far if I work for her I'd work Wed, Fri, Sat, and Sun. Possibly Thurs. The only reason I've stayed at Abercrombie is because of the 30% discount, but I think I'll survive without that.
I'm just trying to maximize time with Jason.
So, stay at Abercrombie and possibly work 6 days out of the week or quit and wok for my mom 4/5 days out of the week?

If you can pick up more hours with your Mom that'd probably be better. I mean, for one, it's $2.75/hour more. Plus it'll be more guaranteed hours, right? 30% discount? Pshaw. Everyone knows SCWians are so sexy they should just walk around nekkied everywhere. Here's a fun little math-ercize for you... how much do you spend a month on Abercrombie clothes (pre-discount), and subtract the 30% of that total.... now compare it to the total number of hours per month you'd be getting per month working for your mom times the $2.75 more you'd be getting from her. How much can you spend on clothes?
It's good that Jason's taking financial responsibility. I know the feeling of wanting to get past that your/my phase and in to the our phase but the two of you aren't quite married yet or able to hold a joint bank account so... yeah. Don't worry too much about that. He's taking responsibility - that's important. The "our" money can come a bit later, right?

Go work with your mom.
I working at Abercrombie really suck, I mean after the discount on the clothes. You have to be there over a year before they give you a raise, and even then its only 75 cents. And my god are the stores always hot!

Problem resolved. :] Thanks guys and ladies. I put my two weeks in at Abercrombie yesterday, I realized I spent most of my pay check there anyway and I really don't need more clothes.
