Well that didn't take long.

Here's the thing: I was going to do a 12 hour shift, but it was then that I very quickly realized the zone around the job site was not safe at all for the time I was getting out at. I would have to leave the area at seven at night, and it was not only eerily quiet but also dark enough for suspicious figures to lurk around without a care in the world. The immediate next day I went to my supervisor to ask about at least getting that shift down to 10 hours so I could leave work while the sun was still up, and while there weren't any 10 hour openings currently, he did thankfully slot me into an 8 hour shift for August, covering for another worker who was apparently going on vacation. Thus, this is how we end up to today, where I'm going to begin that shift tomorrow and hope that I can snag a 10 hour shift at some point.

So what does this mean for August? Well, I've decided to continue with my hiatus regardless of the new time I've gotten, as I think it should help me concentrate on the first month of work. I'm going to be using most of the money I earn to finally fix mom's seemingly eternal financial instability, and then I'll get her the laptop which should then open up even more time for me to write. As stated before, the monthly Experiment might still happen regardless of this break, but no promises.
