Seanbaby, oh Seanbaby... I'm happy for your success in writing for EGM, but now that your articles are edited they're not as funny, and your website will never be completed. The world will mourn.
But hey, it's been a couple years, I'm over it. Hah!
Update on the monetary situation: Thankfully, Finance has made corrections and adjustments, and put me back in the positives. I
gained about $1100 off the travel voucher. BUT!
BUT!
Now I have to pay off my Government Travel Card. The bill hadn't been taken care of because of this whole situation, and as of right now I owe about $2100 to the Bank of America. (
edit: The original debt was $3200 overdue, but I immediately put the $1100 towards this debt, which leaves me at $2100) But you know what? That's fine! I can handle two grand! I can handle it a fuck of a lot better than $8500 for fuck's sake.
Thank God for parents--my dad's sending me a $800 check to defray the cost. That leaves me with $1300 I have to come up with in the next couple of months, and man oh man I have been working my ass off to find a way to do this quickly and painlessly. Numerous loan rejections, credit cards that have a limit too low to be useful, relatives that can't help out...
About now, my only recourse is to get my electronic W-2 form and file my tax return, and then pay off the remainder with my paycheck. It'll be tough, but I'll pull through.
This is such a huge load off my shoulders. Pretty soon, I'll actually have time to myself! And I can start writing again!
This new year is off to a decent start, I'd say. Fuck you 2003. 2003 sucks cocks in hell.
