Self-centered phone user...
New rule: i'm on a cell phone-- you're not allowed to waste my time. now i realize that many prick corporate stiffs want this rule as well, but when you only have a cell phone and you're a poor college student, you really need it. i want them to create business lines that display a special message if somebody is calling from a cell phone. something that prevents them from putting you on hold for any length of time.
why the rant? lemme explain. got a letter from the school saying that if payment wasn't posted by tomorrow i would be withdrawn from non-payment. yikes! it was for maymester, but i'm not in maymester. i was confused, but didn't want to be kicked out of school, so i found the number and called. actually, i have the financial aid number saved on my phone because i've dealt with them so much. anyway, i call and get busy signals. then i call the automated status number, figuring that i could check for myself. it doesn't go through. so i try and try and finally get through to be put on hold. finally, they say all my stuff is good to go but i better call the bursar office to make sure that they know i'm not in maymester and don't withdraw me. ok. look up their number, call them, busy. call again, get through, but get put on automated hold. then a woman picks up and puts me on hold. why the automated hold if you'll do it in person anyway?! whatever. she finally talks to me and confirms that all of this was pointless. they just sent me a letter for no reason. yippee. i have more to say, but it's on a completely different topic, so it gets to be posted separately.
P.S. Keep them in your prayers.
