I live in interesting times

Mar 21, 2011 22:00

Saturday, after I posted Five Things That Have Made Art Mullen Old Before His Time, I went over to J's and soldered for my supper. She's got an old computer (Mac) she's been trying to repair, and that was my third session soldering in new capacitors. I got all-you-can-eat barbecue and corn fritters out of it, so YUM ( Read more... )

Ok, this kind of thing makes me SO furious! When one is entitled to some benefits, then darn, deliver them! You should take some huge wet, disgusting mop and beat them over the head with it.
For example, I withdrew money from my PP account and while PP told on their page that they had finished the process on the 11th, the money appeared to my bank account TODAY. I mean... did it walk or hitchhike over here? It is just couple of clicks on the keyboard, damn it, how long does that take? *grumble-grumble*
Sorry about being a bitch here, when you have HUGE issues yourself but all the financial shit all around makes me so-so mad.

The situation is partly my own fault, I admit it. The benefits handbook states that benefits must be claimed within 14 days of one's filing date...I didn't realize this and held off, thinking I'd get two checks at once. No, instead my claim was closed, IE, they thought I didn't need it. Then I called them and got someone who sent me a form to fill out and return, which I did. And waited. And waited some more. Called them back, and they couldn't find it in the system at all. This time the person I talked to advised me that what I should have done was ask to reopen the claim. This will not get me money retroactively, but instead I'll get payments for that much longer. So that's what I did, but I'm going to be angsting for a week and a half waiting for actual money to appear.

The 11th?! That's extraordinarily slow, even for PP. International or not, that's really ridiculous. I don't blame you for being pissed.

Ok, yeah, that WAS a dumb thing to do. The waiting thing, I mean. Well, it is done.
*crosses toes* Hoping for everything to turn out well.

I'll be sending good karma your way in hopes that the funds will arrive in a timely fashion. Sometimes, they are actually efficient. (esp since you were already on the roster)
