Okay it's official

[cornerofmadness]

Murder IS legal. It has to be. So, AES, my student loan service (yes that one, the one I'm always bitching about) has been calling me so I returned their call. My economic hardship deferment was denied because they couldn't determine my monthly income. The conversation went like this:
COM - What do you mean you can't determine it? I sent you TWO pay statements, one the first time you messed this up and the second time.
AES - (after looking it up) It doesn't say on the pay statement how long your pay periods are. This could be for a week for all we know
COM - if that were the case, I could easily pay you, now couldn't i? I guarantee you I don't make 2,000$ a week
AES - But we can't accept this pay statement
COM - Excuse me? That is the OFFICIAL U of RG pay statement. They are NOT going to generate something different just to make you happy. You have to take that. That IS my only pay statement
AES - But, it only says pay period ending April 25th. When did it start? We can't use this
COM - So what would YOU suggest I do since that is the only pay statement I get?
AES - I....let me talk to a manager
COM - yes you go do that since HR is NOT going to rearrange the world to fit you. (and yes I was this snotty)
AES - (after conferring with manager) You have to go to HR and get something on official letterhead stating what these pay periods cover (apparently they believe teachers make 4K a month and we're all just whining about our low salaries for fun)
COM - Fine, I can get you that
AES - It HAS to be today or we throw out everything and you'll have to start all over again because we go on pay period based on the 15th of the month
COM - Today's the 11th, that's NOT the 15th.
AES - Today or we start again
COM - Fine, crashes phone done while teaching him the finer points of swearing in Italian

So while I need to be doing important things like, oh removing furniture from the living room so the couch can be brought in without a hitch, I have to go to the university and go to HR. HR's head looks at me and says 'you have GOT to be kidding me?' Yes, see me laughing. HR types the letter and asks 'is this too confusing for them? Apparently they aren't very bright.' Oh I'm sure it'll be inadequate but it's what they asked for. I go to my secrety to fax it to these idiots. She looks at me and says, 'You've GOT to be kidding me?' Yes, because I wanted to come out in the driving rain for this. At this point I think key personale at U of RG will help me kill people at AES (Yes, I think in the new novel the demon is going to wipe out a student loan office...)

And it really is raining to beat all. I forgot that I had two plants in decorator buckets without holes. They were floating this morning. We had enough rain to fill a gallon bucket last night and it's STILL raining. Wheee. Okay lunch is ready. I'm going to go repress my homicidal urges and go eat and get back to cleaning.

Obviously the agency that handles the provinicial student loans in BC sends their employees to the same school that AES does.


I can't believe that they're being that stupid about it. I hope you manage to get everything sorted out for it today.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

they callled me today apparently forgetting I just spoke to them two hours ago.

[aaronlisa.livejournal.com]

WTF? That is just sheer stupidity.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

and they called me again after I wrote THAT to you

[aaronlisa.livejournal.com]

I saw that post. That's completely unbelievable.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

That's the best I can do for right now darlin'.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i think if we all get together and concentrate we can make their heads explode. See my comment to marenfic

[marenfic.livejournal.com]

I'll be your alibi.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

thank you. After I posted this, they called me BACK today (because you know, recording that they spoke to me today would be too difficult.)

[druinsanity.livejournal.com]

oh. my. gawd. I can't believe the stupidity of people and all the red tape. no wonder they never get anything done! *beats them with a big stick* I watch enough CSI to know how to cover a trail... maybe.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

we'll be putting that forensic knowledge to good use, I swear it. These people are aging me rapidly

[a2zmom.livejournal.com]

Each time I think that this mess with them can't get worse I'm proven wrong. So unbelieveable.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

oh it gets better. Go look at the new post

[sita-137.livejournal.com]

That's just insane. INSANE. I hope I make it through my next two degrees without student loans... If not, I'll hire you to be my hitman. :)

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]
