Kind of a long story, but whatever, wouldnt mind some advice.
I'm a freshman in college, 19 years old, hoping to get into Law School come the right time.
My uncle owns a law firm in the city, and in September, right around when school started he offered me a job there, just to get experience, so i'd stay busy, etc. It worked out well, and I liked the job at first, still don't really mind it.
It was even better given the fact that he said he would pay me $11 an hour, off the books. I mean it's not great, but for a freshman in college it's pretty good.
In any case, I scheduled all my classes for the evening, worked 40 hours a week, sometimes more, and still maintained an almost perfect GPA.
Flash forward a couple of months, and the job is really getting to me. I don't like it at all, and its affecting my life. In the mornings I can hardly get up to go to work, I have been calling out frequently. My uncle has had several talks with me about my attendance...
Fact of the matter is, I know in the long term, its best for me to keep this job, and not to burn bridges...but I cant cant do it. Its the summer, im 19 years old, but I wake up every morning to commute an hour and a half to a law office where everyone is 35+, I work 9-5, 5 days a week. I get home best case scenario at 6 30 -7 at night...
I know I sound like a spoiled brat, but it really isnt the case. Shouldnt I be enjoying myself, at this point in my life...?
I have an oppurtunity to go and work for a non profit organization, id be making $13 on the books, which would probably come out to around the same I make here. This non profit fits in line with my ideals, and I would like to work for them. Additionally, most people working there are my age, and have the same interests as me, it's also cool because the organization constantly goes on "travel trips" where they roadtrip for a couple of days doing work in other states, and just having fun.
I am severely contemplating switching over.
The cons are that i'm not sure I can maintain this job when I go back to school in the fall, at my uncles law firm hell be flexible with me, here they probably wouldnt work with me to that extent.
I also dont want to burn bridges with my uncle, because many a time he has insinuated that I could have a job when I graduate law school, even perhaps hell give me my own office...
Thoughts/opinions.
Excuse the harried, poor writing. Im on a phone.

Wondering why amidst all the celebs/players/former players you see at the finals, MJ is never present. Its like he wants nothing to do with the basketball world any longer.

I get really jealous in all my relationships, and figure this is why they all die. Tips, comments?

Just trying to make some money, don't knock a hustle. I can guarantee for a fact that this site has plenty of "non traditional sufu" type lurkers.

fairly certain i saw mharcl walking around the city today with a new bitch, so perhaps the advice is sinking in
Haha small world, around where?
If the chick was black, and the dude had a beard and a top knot, was indeed I

btw i haven't read through much of this thread but i have no doubt that mharcl is going to call or text that girl because he sounds like a spectacular pussy
no i will not

So I finally did it, said my peace, and walked out on her.
I'm literally in the cab for 10 minutes and I get a text, "I love you so much and i'm so sorry"
I dont really, couple of minutes later, "You said this would take time, but you're forcing it on me I can't do that."
Now I just got home, and early in the night, we fucked, and called her by a petname, and then I just asked what her favorite nickname was, that I had for her, she said -----
This text I just got "babygirl is a nice one too."
didnt reply though, im not going to pick up her calls or answer her texts. at this point im really ready to focus on myself and move on...i think i am at least. right now i dont really feel anything, hasnt really hit me. im sure it will soon enough, and its going to fucking suck, but such is life.
serious shoutout to everyone in this thread for all the advice, now that i look back on everything, it really was good stuff.

So anyway, this is what went down when we got together on Sunday.
At first when she got there, I said to her something along the lines of, "You know, I was doing some thinking the past couple of days, and maybe you are right, and we can't be together."
Then we talked some for a little bit, and says she still feels like she needs some space and some time, I told her I simply can't do that, you have to respect me and how I feel about this, you can't just prance around taking all the time in the world, while i'm sitting here in some fucking limbo. You either let me move on with my life, or you stay and we work things out.
After this she kept stressing she needs time, she doesn't know if we can be together etc, a couple of times she got up, and it seemed like she was just gonna walk out, KNOWING that I would really sever all ties with her, but she didn't believe I would do that.
She said she didn't appreciate how i'm sort of making an ultimatum, which it really wasn't.
Long story short, in the end she agreed that we would stay together, but she doesn't necessarily feel right about it, she said she trusts me when I say that everything is going to be alright, and she still loves me.
This was Sunday night...we're going to see each other tomorrow.
I'm not going to lie, I don't know if I really feel better, I feel like I convinced her to stay, and she didn't do it on her own accord entirely. But then another part of me thinks that if allowed herself to be convinced she still wants in.
She said she felt like she was going against her better judgement, but at the same time she doesn't think she stayed 100% because of me, or what I said or did...so some part of her still wanted to stay
I'm just really fucking confused at this point, I don't have much hope, and I think I feel worse than before. Really what are the odds of her coming back to stay for good after all this? Should I just let her go know, or should I just let it ride out again, so at least in the end I could say I tried. Who knows what will happen...?
This just really fucking sucks all around.

And stop calling her, or taking her calls. Contact with her will keep you weak, be strong.
this is something im strictly adhering too. no contact whatsoever

the funny thing is we're adding all this helpful input/advice, but he's still going to go through with his usual shit.
And I really am using it all, and trying to take from it.
Its not exactly easy.

And the perilous saga of Mark continues.
I'm taking these next couple of days off, for myself. Going to visit my best friend in Philadelphia, gonna drink, party...and throughout all of this consider myself single, and tell myself she aint coming back.
We spoke today, she still continues with all the same shit... she still wants her time apart, i'll give her that. We agreed on Sunday night to meet up, and go from there.
I am not telling myself we are getting back together.
She knows that if she leaves, I am not coming back, nor will I just sit here and wait for her any longer. I told her that if she still really loves me, still cares, we can work it out together. If she doesnt realize that; I am out.
She knows she'll never speak to me again, etc. I will erase her from my life.
So yeah.
By the way, shout out to all you guys, definitely feels good to have an outlet like this. Appreciated, even if sometimes I just get shit on, good perspective haha.

I dont have the work ethic, yet I managed to stay and excel at a job that I disliked for 8 months running, without fucking up at all, save for the last month, month and a half.
All of this while going to night school, getting good grades, and still attempting to maintain a social life.
You're right. No ethic at all.
