Hey, I'm still at my shit job, back in July I decided I was too important to be fucked with, so I demanded a raise, and the new General Manager, who is from my most hated field (marketing) decided he'd ream my ass in front of all the techs to see if I'd put up with it or not...
He didn't know I knew I was already getting the raise, and we're both lucky that I did know. Some of the things he said to get my goat got it, and it was all I could do just balling my fists and holding it all back, look at my first post again...top part...
anyway, had I not already been assured, I would have been in prison right now for thumping the shit out of a person I don't like that was intentionally trying to piss me off
Worst part was the man I've helped keep his high position with the company would not even once speak up for me, and the guy the leads the division that hates me because I don't care to do extra work for them when all they do is swear at me all day is the only one that did stand up for me during the rape festival
Anyway, post-raise, I finally got another car, My finances are getting in order, and fuck if the Department of Education decided now was the time to demand payment...
So if I wanna make monthly install payments, I have to do it through a third party collection agency, even though the DoE only wants 10%, which is what they say they'll garnish anyway, they won't accept a direct 10% payment
so I talk to the fucking collection agency and they laugh at me basically and demand 14,000 bucks up front
so I laughed back
they went down to about 7 grand and payments, and I told them squeezing water from a rock would be a wiser endeavor, so we settled on what was almost 20%! well fuck it, it'll be paid sooner, so I ask for the adress, and they say I have to give them my bank account information!?
FUCK THAT! I told her that was stupid, she said I should do it because of how late my default is and how much I owe, and I said I agreed to make payments of a certain amount of money and THAT was my obligation, not to provide any specific form of payment. She continued to say that was the only way, even when I asked how they collect from people that have money but no bank account..
so I told them to fuck off, she said she'd say I was unwilling to pay, so I said if they were recording my call, everyone would know she was full of shit
then the DOE sends me the official stuff, no more tax returns come my way, and garnish of 10%
well with garnishment, I will stay in default until it's paid in 13 years...
and with payments of just 10% it'd go back to normal in one year, but those fuckups won't accept my new offer of 10% saying it's too low, even though the DoE says otherwise
I could take it to task, but I'm too lazy, so a finger for the collection bitch and 10% of all my hard earned OT fucked over...
yay.
regardless, I'm inching very close to financial stability, at least for the short term
I might go back to the old ways in another year so I can pay off my whole damn debt and be done with that business (except for the probable IRS audit as to where I came up with 35,000 bucks all at once...hehehe)
anyway, I might instead go to a tech school instead of trying to finish out my useless Soc. or Philos. degrees, and besides, I'm already getting back into programming, so maybe I can work the OT doing something chill instead of all this wonderful exercise that's making my social life dwindle to nothing...
some weeks, it's go to work go to bed go to work go to bed
My bud in Taiwan says he and his wife are starting a school of their own, or their own tutoring business, and he's coming here end of the month for a week, I keep on thinking about it and turning it down, but I'm starting to wonder how much more of Ohio I can put up with...
damn Browns...
