<human>: Can you give me a shortened version of the text?

I was hired by my internship to work part time after I graduated college (previously was an unpaid internship).  Pretty much I worked 4 hours a day doing the tasks I'd previously been doing as an intern, but since I was getting the hang of things it would take less time to do these and eventually I had a whole hour free.  I asked my boss if there was anything else I could be doing with my time, and he got really excited for a while about this new project he wanted me to work on.  He told me that if I wanted, I could come in for extra hours just to work on this project so I wouldn't feel pressured to do it during my normal work hours.  I bumped up my hours to 6 a day and for a while my boss really liked the idea about this new project.  Recently he has stopped giving me updates and things to work on for this new project, and even when I show him progress on things he asked for, he wont get back to me for a few days with something new to work on.  Basically I am right where I started and have EVEN MORE free time at work than before.  I feel guilty getting paid to basically just sit here, but since taking on the extra hours I've quit my other part time job (it was awful, this one pays more anyway, and I've budgeted to be able to work just one) and now I would hate to go back down to 4 hours and potentially have to get another job again.  My boss lately has been more "we'll see where this goes" instead of giving me anything to work on, and I am having trouble making things up for me to work on when in the past everything I have done for this project has gone nowhere, and I am the only one working on it (very small office).  What should I do?
<bot>: My boss has stopped giving me enough work to fill my time, but I don't want to cut hours because I need the money
