checks & balances

Ever notice how a good day will be followed by a horrid day? Well, I do.
Thursday was an awesome day! Water Park, so much fun. But, I can barely even think about that now. Bad things come in 3.
My great-Grandmother passed away. She lives in Wisconsin and we couldn’t afford to go to the funeral. One of my aunts already cleared out my great grandmother’s bank account. It’s not as if we cared about the money, but it showed how she was just WAITING for her to die so she could “collect.” It’s so horrible how she didn’t even care her grandmother passed away. My mom was so embarrassed to hear about it. How her own sister could be so uncaring and selfish.
My cousin, whom I was very close to growing-up, went off to the war in Iraq a few months ago. Today we found out his camp was bombed by terrorists. I started crying when my mom said that. I haven’t seen him in so long. He, however, called from Iraq and said he was okay. Many people died still, and others wounded. He said he was okay, but, we are worried he got wounded and doesn’t want to tell us. The bad thing is, once the successfully bomb a camp, they keep bombing it. Over & over. And Bush has the fuckin’ balls to go on tv and say the real war is over, now its just organization!!! Fuck You! People are dying every fucking day over a war the nation didn’t even want! FUCK YOU!
It’s been 2 weeks and I hadn’t received my bill for my summer courses so I called the university business office. They, in a nutshell, and rudely, told me I hadn’t paid my bill so I’ve been dropped from my classes already. I was in shock! She kept saying, “you were dropped cuz you didn’t pay your bill!” I kept saying, “no! I was dropped cuz I never RECEIVED a bill!”
She said a lot of contradicting bullshit about them sending me invoices and stuff. Then she said my address was set to invalid and they don’t send things when the address is invalid. She said something was returned to them. I told them my boy-friend has the same address and he got his bill! It ended with me telling them ,”so it’s MY JOB to make sure you do YOUR JOB so I can get my bills!? Why are you even there?” She, in the middle of my sentence, put me on hold without me even knowing and transferred me to a woman who first said I had to get an ADD/Drop form and add my classes back. I asked if the form would cost me anything, first she said no, then she goes, unless its past the date which yours is so, yes, 50$ each. I told them I shouldn’t have to pay it because I never received…… BLAH BLAH . UGH. I got so upset I started crying. Mike called them back up and asked them bout my stuff and they said . “We can’t discuss her matters with you.” so Mike responded, “She would be talking to you but she’s too upset because someone in that office went off on her!.” They told him no one “went-off” on me and Mike just hung up on them.
We went up there and did so much zig-zaggin back between buildings I can barely walk now. I put in a waiver form so I don’t have to pay 50$ for each Add/Drop form. I got 1 class added. But my other class is online and she’s never there, and I need her signature, the department chair’s signature, and the dean’s signature to get back in. I can’t even log onto her course anymore and I’m going to get so behind. I emailed her tonight so I can meet with her to sign my form.
Found out…….
some moron put my address information into the computer system in the WRONG FORMAT. They did it right when they entered Mike’s so that’s why he was getting his stuff and I wasn’t. It’s such bullshit. Everyone was pretty nice except for the business office. I started crying in the Registrars office. The business office were the ones who went off on me, they changed their attitudes when I showed up though. I had to borrow 630.00$ from Mike because they wouldn’t let me add my courses back unless I paid the minimum fee for the semester right then and there.
I skipped alot of bullshit stuff that happened because of the Uni’s f’up. I just don’t feel like thinking any more. Today was starting out okay(my presentation went well, I got a 90 A on my Mid-term while most got an 80 B, and Mike got his new eMAC in today), but it go so worse. I just had to get all this out. I’m just…. tired now.

oh, jen. ::hugs:: i’m so, so sorry. i don’t know what to say… ::hugs:: i hope everything works out. i’ll be praying for you!
I’m sorry, Jen. It’s three though, so that’s the end of bad luck. In the end everything will be okay, if it’s not okay it’s not the end. I love you, Jen!
CIRCLE OF LOVE! Come on, let’s make babies! 
kidding.
i’m not sure who bush is trying to fool with his occupation of iraq…damn idiot.
oh my god.. jen :( that’s really really bad… *hugs jen* hope everything will turn out good soon… my god, jen.. your day is really bad… the bad things were already in three, so hopefully it will end soon ^^ don’t forget, we all here love you ^^
eck! crappy things do happy in three! i’m very sorry to hear about your great-grandmother… your aunt was pretty selfish and uncaring just to go off and do that eh? taking an old person’s money RIGHT after they die! shouldn’t they put it towards the funural or flowers or something! (i don’t know what i’m talking about) and the war! yes the bullshitting war! is very pissing me off ~~ i was watching the “late show” last night and they featured micheal moore, and he was the director of farenheight 9/11~ a movie about the bs-ness about bush and his stpuid war. he said, when the kids signed up to go to war, they gave the trust to the american gov’t saying that they won’t have to go unless it’s absolutley 100% necessary. and there’s a conspiracy going on about osama or whatever, because shouldn’t the bushes go to afghanistan instead of iraq? ? ? ? are you as confused as i am?! anyways, sorry to hear about all the crapiness that happened! ii’m sure there’s gonna be good stuff that comes in.. 1 millions!
Gawd, I thought I had a bad week lol that really sucks :-/ hope things get better *hugs*
aish…jenny i’d give you the biggest hug right now
. i’m sorry about your grandma and your selfish and careless aunt. and your university is stupid. damn them. damn them all. aigo~ [[[huggs]]]
ouw Jenn… *hugs* so…both of us had a very rough day ne? x_x yes Jen, I had a really terrible day too.. :( and I suppose tomorrow will be as terrible.. (something to do with boyfriend and parents) but I hope that yours won’t, hope that yours will be so much better
that’s what my mom always tells me whenever I get upset with my maids or drivers, she says, we have to be more patient, cuz we have to understand, and the logic thing is, if they’re smarter, they wouldnt want to work in that position, same like those stupid administration staff :(
sorry to hear about your great grandma.. when my grandma (from my dad’s side) died, my aunties were like some morons too +_+, taking all her valuable things like.. jewels, money from bank account, even property!!! SHAME ON THEM -_-
and yea.. as i told ya, no one wants the war, everyone hates war, first of all, it’s the terrorist you have to blame, then it’s saddam? but Bush still counts.. oh, that man, maybe all he cares is POLITICS, I know politics is important, but he NEVER positions himself as a citizen.. (in my opinion) he always positions himself as MR. PRESIDENT, and that’s lame..
hahahah it’s funny to hear about the phone thing.. ^^ the way Mike hung up on that staff.. I know how you feel Jen, how stupid administration staff can be! :p SHUCKS.. that’s why Jen, that’s why they’re still staff in lower positions, cuz they’re no good at all, if they’re any good, they’d be in a higher position, yes?
Sorry to hear about your family members. I’m glad your cousin is okay, though!
That’s such BS! University administration sucks EVERYWHERE! I hope everything works out for you.
I’m so sorry to hear about your great grandmother, and I’m sorry about the actions of your aunt. Thank goodness your cousin is alive! I hope he’s not hurt - it saddens me that innocent people are dying for a war that never really needed to begin. That’s what happens when you get a hick in the Whitehouse. -_- WTF?! Those rude fuckers. That pisses me off - I think I would have threatened them. >_>; But that wouldn’t make things any better… $630?!! OMFG, that’s the “minimum fee” - my god. I’m sorry all that crap happened, it’s amazing how all this can happen to one person. ;_; *Hugs!* I hope everything comes around and begins to brighten up.
*hugs* I really hate it when people are so selfish, and they use someone’s DEATH to their advantage. :/ It’s so horribly wrong, especially when a life is worth so much more than money.
and another hug because bush is a royal idiot who has his nose up in the air. the whole administration’s backpedaling from their MISTAKE which was going to war on zero proof - which is really hurting the US afterwards. If it were BUSH going out there and fighting, he might just shut up once in a while about “our homeland” for a while and maybe care about the $186 billion spent on the war [that could have been spent on schools or hospitals] and the death tolls caused by this pompous government. :[ *hug hug hug* if you go to kick his arse, I’m with you.
omg..jen! i’m so sorry to hear about what happen. man….i hate when that happen too. please do take care of you self *hugs*
Good god woman…than is a serious load of crao you just endured. Wow…some people are just so inconsiderate they just want to show everyone eh? Jeebus. Well at least you didn’t have to pay for the form…save a bit of something, no? Bush should die…for once, he should just go there and live out a day as one of the US soldiers. What a bastard. Dude, knit your stress awaAAaAaAy! AHahaa…hope you feel better soon! K? Ja!
first of all… death sucks in itself. I hate that some people are so arrogant to actually believe that shit won’t happen to them. That’s why I always tell people I loves them and never leave things on a bad note. You never know when the last time you will be able to see / talk to someone will really be.
Second, one of my good friends I went to high school with died in Iraq last year (Kyle Gilbert, r.i.p.). And I agree with you 100%. It’s all fucked. And we supposedly live in a democracy, right?
Third, bad things do always come in threes. I’ve been having a really poopy month too if that makes you feel any better!!
xoxo!
