How to ask for a change in availability?

So I started working CTM just under a month ago, first job I've ever done, around the same time that I started at uni. I'm doing a foundation year, and although I only have in-studio/lectures 3 days a week (Mon, Wed, Fri), I'm commuting 2 hours to London when I do, so total of 4 hours minimum each day, and I technically have self-study/out of studio days the other 2 days (Tue, Thu), which my uni didn't tell me beforehand, and said that it would be good for students with part time jobs because we only have to be in 3 days a week. I'm currently working the 4 days I have (Tue, Thu, Sat, Sun) which adds up to around 31 hours, even though I'm contracted to 16, because my Co-op is really understaffed I guess. I was doing alright with it for some time but I'm starting to suffer a bit, I'm exhausted, getting sick more often and I don't have enough time to work on my schoolwork, and I definitely don't have time to relax/for hobbies and eat or sleep. So my plan was to change/decrease my availability during term time, and then pick up more hours (I could even do up to the 39 max) during holidays because that's not a problem for me and I do really want to work because I'm trying to save something extremely important.

I checked Logile and I can only override my availability at the start of November, which is in another 3 weeks. But tbh, I'm really struggling to understand how to use Logile to do this, and also to ask for time off for a couple days in November for a family thing (do I have to wait until they give me my hours to select which ones I want off?)

If someone, anyone, has any advice, I would really really appreciate it, and please be nice, I'm really just trying to work things out over here.

Thank you !!

Is this fixable??

Hi I'm a trans guy and I'm wondering if anyone has any advice about this.

Before T, I already had a hormonal imbalance and my clit was larger than average. I never really looked into how to masturbate properly with my anatomy and basically I would pretty much just flick the bean between the hood on my right side. I went through a lot of difficult times as a teen and masturbation was kinda my refuge. Over time, doing it dry or too forcefully, the skin there has changed, it's thicker and there's an excess of skin and like a little hood of excess tissue where the hood meets the glans on the side. It's gotten to the point where it's really noticeable and becoming an issue. Idk if it's an adhesion or scar tissue or what but it now causes me deep pain and soreness for days after touching myself.

I was looking into a clitoral hood reduction/revision to see if this would help. I'm about to start T as well which will mean I get bottom growth and probably need to wait a year or two for it to plateau before doing it.

Does anyone have any advice?? Thank you for all of your help.
