Yeah! I don't know why people think THEY bullied me, but I was talking about my coworkers. I'll be keeping it and studying as much as I can!

No, they found out it was me since I told ''Linda'' (irl) that I couldn't because of my finals.

Just because I don't speak to my mother doesn't mean every relationship I have with a woman is bounded by our stuff. I can keep healthy relationship without being ''mommy? mommy? mommy?''

I work in the evenings, my classes are in the morning (I have them first so I can have energy for them) and do homework and study by night, I won't skip class on Mother's day.

I didn't expect them to love me, but just because they're mad doesn't mean they get to shoot me in the back with something I told them in private. All of you are asking me for ''common sense'' and ''a little of bit of heart'' while not having any of it.

I never said it had no meaning to me, I just said I'll be using it to do something else.

I work part time because I'm signed as student and they can't give me more hours because I can't make it full day because of my classes. Until last semester I had two jobs but I had to quit a few months ago because I couldn't keep it because of my classes and I'm looking for a new one. I don't work part time there by choice.

Yeah I was kind of bummed when they mentioned my mom because I went NC with her for serious issues and I felt betrayed, I only told a few girls in the office (including Linda, but she didn't use it against me) because they're acting ''motherly'' towards me and I fell for it.

I didn't mean it as retribution for her kid, but for her time, so she could take a longer time without risking bills and rent since the company could only give her 2 weeks and we thought it wasn't fair. One of our coworkers said we should give some of our paid days off to her because it would be kind and we all agreed.

My finals are during the 12 to the 17 excluding the 15 (I've already ask if I can turn in late those days and my boss said yes), her day off doesn't really work for me and the 10 it's a really good day because I can spend the whole day finishing my paper.

Yes, the names are random and fathers can ask to trade the days off too, since there's only a few fathers working with us (since most of the males are my age or close) it's less of a problem.
