If you've been trying to find a job lately, you'll know that it hasnt' been easy. If you're trying to find a job that fits around a school schedule and odd practicum hours, it's even more difficult.  
Finally, after a month of searching for a job that had reasonable hours that would work well with my schedule, I landed a job. It was working at a well-known restaurant here in town that I really enjoy the food at. Once meeting my future employer, he asked me to come in the next week, and so I was scheduled for 3 days in a row. 2 of which my employer wasn't present, and the first day he left early.  
On my 3rd day of training, my trainer told me how well I was doing learning the menu and that I was writing the menu out properly. She said she was going out for a smoke and would I care to join her. I said, No I don't smoke I'm pregnant. She asked me how far along I was, and I told her.  
Well yesterday (Sunday) I was expecting my boss to call me and tell me when he wanted me to come back. To my surprise, he didn't really want me back at all. He said it came to his attention from the girl that I was pregnant and although I was learning well, I would be leaving in a few months anyways and I would just cost him time and money if he kept me on.  
Super.  
Now I have to find another job which will hopefully work well with my school schedule. I also feel obligated to tell any future employers that I am expecting in the spring, even though I know legally I don't have to.  
Discrimination... it's live and well folks.
