I'm so #$%ing stressed right now.
ONE:
When I lost my job, I figured, it would be best to give up my apartment. If the Actuary thing does work out, I'll be moving out of town anyway, so might as well save myself some money and move in with my folks. Problem: my lease requires 60 days notice before I move out. Okay, so I have a conversation with the super, give my 60 days notice, then he more or less convinces me that the sooner I actually move out the better. I'll still be paying rent, but if he can find someone to move in before the 60 days is up, then *nudge, nudge, wink, wink*, he'll "ask" me to move out early and I'll get my rent back.
No sooner did I get all my stuff out of the building then the super puts up a notice that he and his wife are moving at the end of the month (February) They're going back to Alberta. Me: huh? "Okay," says me. That still gives them till the end of the month to rent the apartment out for March, right? February 13, I get a call from my landlord saying that the new super is confused about the status of my apartment. Did I move out already. "Yes" I tell them. "I was hoping the apartment could be rented to someone else before the notice is up so I can get my money back. "Oh," they say. So now I'm paying 660$/month for an apartment I'm not living in, 90$ a month for storage for all the stuff that isn't in my apartment, and I'm crammed into a little 3 bedroom apartment with my parents ready to cry buckets of tears because I'm so stressed and have no privacy and no money.
TWO:
Income tax time. Stupid Royal Bank - worst freakin bank on the planet - isn't sending out the interest forms for student loans until next week. I have every other freakin piece of paper I need to complete my taxes except this one which is worth bout $500. Why the hell is it always the Royal Bank that's stressing me out. I don't dare risk telling them my change of address, because then I'll never see the damn paper. Thank you, but I will trust the post office to forward it to me before I ever trust Royal Bank for anything at all. Feather on the camel's back - today I got a T4 slip from Zales Canada. I never worked a day for them in 2007, yet for some stupid reason it makes perfect sense that they paid me 700 last year. Stupid freaking... no it's not a mistake, but it is a nasty surprise. That may lower my income tax return by as much as $350. I don't know exactly how much yet, I'm not letting myself think anymore about Income Tax until next week.
Three:
Employment Insurance: OMFG!!!!
True or False: Employment Insurance is insurance you pay for through the government to protect you in case you lose you job. It's a small supplement to help you pay your bills and buy food while you look for work. I say true!
True or False: It is stated in no less the two places (at least once on your application form, and once at service Canada) that your application will be processed within four weeks. Therefore your application will be processed within four weeks. I say true, because of course the government wouldn't lie about such an important thing (see question 1).
My score: 0/2.
Like I don't have enough stress in my life, I need EI to already be a week late... and that's just processing my freaking application, nevermind giving me my money. I've got to pay the stupid storage fee tomorrow, which will leave me with a whopping $10.00 to my name, and I am 6 days from car payment ($409) and car insurance payment ($120). But hey, that's okay, I can just go to my family for the money because who doesn't love to have to ask their daddy for money when they're 33 years old. That's what the GodDamn Employment Insurance is fucking for!!! I can't even freaking call to complain because so my other people are calling to complain (I'm sure) that the automated operator won't connect me.
Four:
Test is on Friday. Last two exams 27/30. This is very good, if I get 27/30 on Friday, I"m sure I'll pass. However, still very stressed and panicky over it.
