FUCK!
so, fuck you W Bush!
how HIS decisions are personally (other than emotioanlly/sympathetically or politically) effecting my day:
So the financial aid line at PSU has been super long from the 1st day of classes, and still is almost 2 weeks into the term (approx a 30 minute wait to reach a window). The staff hours were cut in the financial office making everyones fin. aid situation horrible. I was expecting my check on the 5th of Jan first off, and here we are on the 21st and I still don't have it and I just was told that I won't have it until after March 1st! For some people this may not be a big deal but I'm screwed! why?
a) I work on campus and because of stupid burocracy, students only get paid once a month
b) the cafe I work at was only open a week in Dec and 10 days this month.
a+b=fuck!
basically I'm getting a wimpy check on the 31st and combined with my current balance in my bank account, I will be 40 bucks short for Feb's rent, still in debt to my friend for this months rent, and have no money for food or bills!
So I wish I could say that I spend money frivously and am only getting what I deserve but nope, I haven't spent any money in 2 weeks (my paycheck for last month was weak too)! I mean, things could be WAY worse, but I'm especially pissed because I'm stingy with money, and super organized/anal about keeping track of my money (yes I do balance my checkbook and create budgets for myself), boohoo no fair!
so, looks like I get to spend more time in line, this time in the cashiers line asking for a $600 short-time loan! not sure I have any other options...
