The World Currently Hates Me

In short:

Comcast sucks, they dicked around with me forever until I got pissed and they finally credited my account for the entire first month... the bill for the first month came yesterday :rolleyes:

WaMu "adjusted" my account $271.71 in the negative, with no explanation. I called and demanded one, they said they'd contact me within two business days. It's been four, and I haven't heard shit.

Due to union negotiations, I am only allowed to work 11.5 hrs/wk at my job until Dec 8. So it looks like I need a new job.

My roomate is incredibly messy. Right now, there are papers on the ground, two-day-old mudslide in the blender (YIIIIIICK), dishes piled in the sink (not mine), etc etc etc blah blah blah. She always has tons of people over - fucking animals!

I don't even want to go to work today.
 
  1. Call WaMu and get an answer or threaten with a suit. Even if you may not be able to do so, you'd be surprised how quickly people will act over that threat.
  2. Tell your roommate to clean up, your you're piling all her mess at her front door. This works well, by the way.
  3. Jobs are tough to find, but you seem to be a smart cookie. You'll get a good job.:) Just make sure you keep your current job until you can find a new one. No offense, but you'll be living paycheck to paycheck with your current work rate, it seems, so try to keep a constant cash flow.
  4. All the best wishes for you!
 
:hug2: Life has to be shitty sometimes so you can appriciate the good times.. I know it sucks now, but it'll get better because you deserve it.
 
My substitute teacher in Quantitative Applications today looked just like you.

I couldn't concentrate because of how sexy he was.

Just, you know, a nice compliment to put a smile on your face or something.

Man-hug.
 
;945727']Dude, there's one thing I have learned- some shit you just can't fix.

I always look at things this way when that happens. I can

(A- Sit and worry about it, or-

(B- Not.

Not to be condescending, but that's really the simplest way of putting it. You should be calling your bank and asking them "wtf?", because it's their responsibility to provide you with an explanation.

I'd speak to your roommate about cleaning his room. Bring up something along the lines of "chicks don't dig slobs, and I intend on bringing a few of them in". If he continues to be a slob, you may have to make the "keep your mess in your fucking room" rule. Yeah, you'll be cleaning the other areas of the house, but when he leaves shit in there, just toss it in his room. Don't even speak to him- act like a tired parent with a messy child, and he'll get the idea.

I'm glad you got your own pad, dude. Proud of you. Keep your head on straight, shop smart, and you should be fine.

I'll have a Maker's Mark and Dr. Pepper for you. Then one for me. Then, for Jesus. Then, well... anybody else.
 
DEFINITELY call your bank. I cannot stress enough how important it is. Call call CALL them. If their customer service people don't help, take it to the assisstant branch manager. If that doesn't help, go to the branch manager. Actually, ask to talk to her first. Chances are, he or she would have to approve refunding your money IF WaMu does that. Banks generally refund fees you incur because of bank error. It's not impossible that they accidentally took money out of your account thinking it was someone elses. Either way, go in person and ask to speak to the manager. Phone is ok, but in person is best.


William had a problem like that with Bank of Oklahoma, and they kept taking money out of his account. He wasn't a big enough asshole to them, so he never got refunded. If it's fraud, WaMu MIGHT refund your money. I know Chase does, but I don't know about other banks, and I don't want to give you wrong information.

Also, if you receive an email telling you to update your account information online and it's addressed to Chase AND WaMu customers, delete it. It's a phishing scam that's been going around ever since Chase bought out WaMu.

Also, make sure to write a check against your account, or deposit money....do some activity on your account yourself. Because WaMu was bought out, you have 18 months to "claim your account" which just means to do some activity on it, in order to stay FDIC insured. It's weird legal-financial shit, but you should have received a letter, or if you haven't yet, you should soon.
 
Adding to the list of the world hating me:

Today, I took a shit and had to wipe with handouts on 8.5x11" paper from old meetings, because we can't afford toilet paper.

Then, I ate a moldy bagel for breakfast because it was the only thing to eat in the house.

I barely skidded in home, my car may not have enough gas to get to the gas station 2 blocks away tomorrow. I can't afford more gas until my roomie gives me some of the money she owes me (she is just as broke as me though).







That was my first action upon learning of it. Today they told me that they sent a letter detailing it on the seventh, so I guess I'm waiting.





Firstly, :rofl: at Hostile, my roomie is a girl, and the people she has over constantly making messes are girls. Uggh. I don't want it to turn hostile over messiness but really, it's embarrassing. Here's the catch:

Because payroll shorted us, we had to get a temporary third "roommate". This girl paid what we couldn't, and as her part of the bargain, she was told that she can use it as a full-time party pad. So for this month it's crazy, I know my real roommate doesn't like the partying (although she does make some of the mess), so hopefully soon it will be more tolerable.



Oh, that's like obvious life lessons 101 dude. Lol. I am going to be keeping my job for the city no matter what, it's the career I want. I just need to pick something up for the other days of the week.
 
Just a thought:

With only 11.5 hours a week and any limited knowledge or experience you could get a job as a bartender. It would get you out of the house during party time and if there is a "downtown" area anywhere near you or some tourist destination type place you can make pretty good cash (maybe even under the table) that way. Main requirements are common mixological sense, social skills, limited degree of integrity (i.e. no stealing), and thick skin. It helps if you can drink like a fish, too. You don't need any of this to get started if you have any sort of relationship with a manager or owner. If you're really desperate you could always be a barback, too.

I hope things get better.
 
;947344']Well, that's the American cycle- you work to barely sustain yourself, you cut loose when you can, and you accumulate debt.

I have an idea-

When you get some money, you should tell your bank to give you a secured credit card. Give them around $500.00 if you can. Use that credit card to buy some shirts every now and then, or some DVD's or even a game here and there. Pay it back- albeit pay more than the minimum and don't pay it off completely. If you can't make the payment, the money is already there and you're okay. If you do this, you can excercise your credit and maybe have a credit card or get a loan later to help you out.

Is your roommate at least a hot slob?

Oh, and the whole party-pad thing... bad idea. Unless it's a party full of scantily-clad hotties doing body shots from one another and you're enjoying. In that case, I salute you, young sir. You have the maddest of respect from me.
 
Don't feel alone Icky, the world hates everyone. That's why you have to love yourself and those around you as often and as much as possible.

If you'd like, I could so sniper them with my sniper rifle.
