I'm getting really frustrated. Like everyone, I am dealing with the day to day grind of working, paying bills, and going to school full-time (okay, maybe not everyone goes to school, but bear with me..) and I really think that I'm trying my damndest to do it all in an orderly fashion. I cannot wait until I am done paying for my car, which will be in March. That will be a monthly burden off my shoulders, which are already bearing the burden of everything.
I guess work isn't too bad, for the most part. I work in a supermarket and people are okay mostly, but everyone has their days. My supervisor, whom we'll call 'B' hasn't made it easy either. Since B has arrived, nobody has enjoyed working anymore. The woman who worked here before B was a pure delight, and everyone loved her and there wasn't one bad thing that you could say about her. TOTALLY DIFFERENT with B. There isn't one GOOD thing anybody can say about her, and that's all I'm going to say. Because I am in a position where I would have to work alongside her, I really had a hard time getting along with her for a long time. Only recently have I started to sort of get along with B just out of necessity of working. I really was getting tired of coming into work hostile, and receiving hostility back from B day after day. So, that being said, it really didn't help today when B pulled me in the office and told me she had written me up for something which I'm not so sure I did. So that did not help my day go better, because it was Friday, and as always it was a terribly busy day and I was just tired....so needless to say now I am fuming a little cause I've never been written up before and now I have been written up for something which I'm not positive that I did.
Besides all that, I like the people that I work with in my department, some of them could use a few light slams (such as B), but somehow, someday they will get theirs....
What else is there??? School. School is starting in a week and a half, and I'm not even registered for classes yet. Let me tell ya why....Oh it's just great.
For some reason, when you fill out for Financial Aid in college, the US Dept. of Education requires that you put down your parents as well as your financial information. They do not care if you do not live with your parents or if they don't claim you on their taxes, or if they don't help you at all financially...they DOn't Care!! They want the parents information until the student/filer is 25 years old...which will be this year for me so good. Anyway, last year when I filled out my FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) for this school year, the school required some forms to be handed in to their financial aid office. Well that required getting the forms from My father...which in turn he would have to get from his accountant...Fast forward to June of this year and I've been hounding my father for nearly a year now and he still hasn't gotten these forms. So what did my school do?? They 'canceled' all of my courses for Spring 2008, totally erasing me from the roster so now it doesn't look like I even attended school this past semester, AND they 'canceled' my financial aid that I received for the same time frame, so it looks in their system like I 'owe' a whole years tuition to them.. and until I produce these forms and then Talk to the Dean of Students, will I be able to fix the whole mess and then register for classes... Since school starts on September 2, I doubt this is all going to happen in a week and a half..unless there is some gigantic miracle. So I'm really feeling a crunch here...
So basically right now that's my story. I'm in limbo until I get this whole thing straightened out, and I just continue to work at the good ol' SD and hope for some adjustments. As long as nothing major happens with B or anyone else, I'll be alright.
