Well, today is a designated ‘take care of stuff’ day. Briggs and I have a variety of places to contact regarding various matters of business and people who need calling during the day.
The first on Briggs’ list was the Creative Education Loan people to check whether now that he had made sure that everything from his past was paid off, he could co-sign for me.
No dice.
The fact that he, at one point, HAD an outstanding student loan, regardless of eventual repayment, disqualifies him out the gate. And the lady on the phone told him ‘Gee, I don’t know why no one MENTIONED to you that it would make no difference once the deed was done…hmm.’ Because the person he spoke to last week gave him a very clear, ‘well, get it taken care of, fax us the loan pay off thing they send you and call back.’
I need to call Starbucks who were supposed to call me and let me know if they were hiring me within 24 hours, but I haven’t heard from yet. If they aren’t going to hire me because they don’t feel that some of my answers to their stupid behavioral questions were what they wanted to hear, I’ll be pissed. I could do that job with my eyes closed, and do it well. Jerks.
I need to call the Bank of New York and see if they have figured out who I am yet.
I need to call AIP and tell Monica that I still don’t have a way to get a student loan and I don’t know what to do.
I need to do some other stuff if I recall correctly, but sleeping late yesterday and female-specific pain last night made sleep a bit elusive.
Briggs and I went to Tom’s Diner, a 24 hour place in the Southside, to get dessert last night. They had no ice cream sundaes for Briggs, only milkshakes, which were clearly made from vanilla ice-cream and Hershey syrup and milk, and the one we got was rather thin and clumpy. My lemon meringue pie was very sub-par…rubbery meringue and gooey, too sweet, too tart, too something lemon custard. Dissapointing.
My GOD but this week is conspiring to piss me off!!!!!!!!!!!
Except for Harry Potter. That was cool.
EDIT:
I called Starbucks and they ‘meant to call me yesterday’ and they ‘really liked me’ but they found someone else they apparently liked better. Bitches.
