Yesterday was a terrible day. I checked on student loans...after five phone calls, four people, seven prompts, and two idiots, I finally found out that my assessment hasn't even been done yet, due to missing information. Of course, they don't tell you that. You have to somehow psychically know that there is a problem, and call them. And their reason? "not enough manpower." Okay, sure, that's true...but why isn't the information stated clearly on the form? If I'd known I'd needed to get some extra documents, then I'd have done that. So instead, I waited five weeks (they won't tell you anything before that) and then made all these phone calls, which still didn't give me the answer I needed. When we finally figured it out, then they tell me that it will be another four weeks before I receive notice! Hello? I leave in 10 days, and I have no way of knowing whether I will have the loan to pay my tuition! A drunk monkey (if you're a big brother fan, you'll know who said that!) could do that job. I did lose my temper on the phone...and I was told very curtly that there is no need to yell, ma'am. Yeah, there is, especially if you keep calling me ma'am! End result: I have to wait again, and I smashed my favourite mug, my happyface mug, against the wall, so now it has a crack on the bottom and I can't use it. And I fought with Brian over the computer. He seems to think that I don't need a computer, and I should just wait until student loans comes thru (if they do) to get a laptop. I'm supposed to go without, while there are two at home. I told him that I will be taking a computer, whether it's this one or another, I don't friggin' care. "It's too much trouble to pack and move" according to my possessive husband. That's your problem, Brian, not mine. I AM TAKING A COMPUTER!
How does he expect me to stay sane, if I have no way to connect with my friends, write in my blog, write notes and blather about school? He should remember that I actually paid for the computer, with my wages from the gallery, and we got it from an auction for employees of the gallery. I paid for the computer, the scanner, and the printer! So he paid for the upgrade, and some of the software. whoopdee do. Next thing, he'll be telling me I don't need a vcr or a tv...just try taking away Survivor from me....it will get ugly, I can assure you...
