GAAHH!!!
so i've been going around and around with the VA today about my gi bill weirdness.
after attempting to call and actually make it through the busy signal for several hours, i finally managed to get through. the very nice lady that i talked to told me that i needed to expedite my claim and she transferred me to a totally different branch. the lady that i talked to there was also nice but had no idea how to help me so she transferred me to a rather abrupt gentleman in another department who gave me absolutely nothing other than another phone number to call.
so....i managed to get through (after some interesting hold music) to another very nice lady who basically said that she couldn't help me at all and that i needed to A) get with my school rep who was supposed to call them back anyway (according to their notes) and B) call the financial department (which was where i started todays journey).
so i chose option A and called our very awesome school rep and she said (sounding a little exasperated) that she had talked to them yesterday and that she now had no idea what was going on so she was going to call them back and try to get it figured out.
so, as it stands now, i'm not getting paid for this month. which means serious trouble.
very. serious. trouble.
so on top of the left over headache from yesterday, i have now compounded that with a stress headache and an "i really should have eaten 2 hours ago" headache.
on the upside, i started another blog (http://fthrgasp.wordpress.com/) where i'm planning on doing a little more "formal" writing. i'm going to do a "thing a week" type deal where i'm going to try to think of something interesting, do some research on it and then write it up. hopefully it'll both interesting to read and write. i'll even capitalize letters. i promise. i told a friend that yesterday. he put it on his calendar.
wordpress is a whole different world. the dashboard where you configure/control everything is ... different. it's going to take some getting used to. lots of control though. maybe a bit too much control.
anyway....back to busy signals. joy.
