SO Went to a Mary Kay party where I had won a $50 gift certificate from a bridal show. I was thinking of hiring this rep to do the make up for my wedding. Got some stuff specifically for the wedding that came to $80, but wait the gift certif is only for $50! Job doesn't start another couple weeks, but had a check coming in Wednesday of the following week, so okay, it's cool, charge me on this day. Wait, isn't that illegal? Not really, you say? I can trust you, you say? Well, jolly good, I look forward to working with you in the future! We're already building a relationship! (I'm a fucking tard sometimes...) Next day, pay a dollar to mail a package. That weekend, get a notice I'm in the red almost a hundred bucks because her dumbass assistant charged me the very next day, so not only do I have a $30 late charge for that, but also another $30 for the one measly fucking dollar I mailed the package with. Know what's awesome? The package was a box of books I was selling back to get the check that was coming in, I was sure, by Wednesday. Seemed like plenty of time. Fun part: blizzards hit directly after I mail the fucker. Almost two weeks later, I still have no money because processing has been backed up. Okay, I'll limp along until my job starts and I get a paycheck. Fucked up, but I'll go after the woman in the meantime. She's totally blowing me off. Hasn't returned an email or a phone call in days. Got back to school. At least academically, I'm doing fine. Passed my Calc class with a C, never thought I'd be able to do that... finished up with almost a 3.0 last semester, bringing up my overall to about 2.5. Not stellar, but I'll take it. Today, I'm called in (last day of the first week of classes) to find out that regardless of what my overall average is, my major average is still under par. Well, shit, by how much?? TWO TENTHS OF A MOTHERFUCKING POINT. Well... what if I get all A's in the two classes I'm taking? ONE TENTH OF A MOTHERFUCKING POINT. Do you round up? HELL FUCKIN NAW! *_* Well, I'll retake some classes, right? I have some room. I can shuffle some things around. I've missed the first week of classes, but I'll do anything to catch up! It will cut into your work schedule. FUCK. Less cash than my current schedule allows = about $50 every two fucking weeks. At this rate, it will take a month just to pay off the fucking bank. I live in the sticks, I have no fucking car, so I can't get a job at night... :banghead: WHAT IS THE ANSWER?????? I must admit I'm impressed at how intricately this one was weaved. It's almost comical. I'd laugh, if I didn't want to hang myself... If anyone has read my posts in this forum, you'll know that I am a walking illustration of the phrase: "when it rains, it pours." I'd like to know just what I have done to always deserve this shit happening at the same time. If we could string it out a little bit, that would be so cool. Just a suggestion to whoever is in charge of these things... *sigh* Now I'm off to comfort my best friend whose boyfriend just broke up with her two fucking days before Valentine's Day (which incidentally, I'm alone for as well as the fiance lives in Maine), the insensitive fucking prick... :svengo:My brain is broken.
Well I have to shout out some empathy for you~ I personally have only been exposed to Mary Kay once. That was enough for me. Do you know where the Rep. that promised not to cash your check lives? Maybe you could show her your in person what happened. Do you think she may refund your $$? I suspect that those Mary Kay chicks are whores for money & don't give a crap. I'm wondering if you could do some *extra credit* work to up the 2/10ths. It's just a thought...even with the new class coming up, do all the extra work for extra credit. Any real work at home options? I'm just wondering. I've thought of making tamales and selling them out of a cooler. I've seen that and breakfast burritos. Just ask around and take orders or sell 'em to folks in parking lots... I can totally empathize w/ how ironic *the movie* gets sometimes. The universe is so big & we are so small & it can get very overwhelming at times. Sometimes what makes me laugh, or smirk is this thought: in Buddhism it is believed that incarnations have become so numerous that everyone has been each other's mother at least once. So in theory , everything that has happened to you has happened to that person too. So we are in this together!:groupwave:
Appreciate your suggestions. A few things have resolved themselves. The books finally went through processing and the deficit is fixed in my bank account. Only got $9 left to show for it, but at least I'm not in the red. As for the rep? Well, she's still a no-show, but you know what? She gave me back the money I spent on her stuff, so really, I'm only out $60 bucks... She's going to miss out on all the orders I would have placed, my mom would have placed, everyone else I would have brought, not to mention my wedding... So really the ball is in her court whether or not she wants to do business with me. I really don't care at this point. I could always hire someone else, probably for less. Mary Kay is a ripoff. My friend's bf got back with her (on Valentine's Day, lol they're so cute with their drama), so that's no longer an issue. The school stuff, now that's a little more difficult to fix... I'm probably going to have to take another semester. Pain in the ass... But I guess it's always an opportunity to take more classes I actually like, and that's always a good thing. I like taking classes I like. I'm good at school when I'm not being abused by science teachers. ^I like this. A lot, lol. Thanks for this. I will pass it on.
Thanks. Talked to the sales rep. I get to keep my money. One less thing to worry about... Finally told my dad about the school thing. I wasn't looking forward to it. I don't know why I worry about disappointing him... He was angry, but not at me. Chemistry is the same thing that tripped him up. He almost didn't even graduate high school because of it. I'm actually the first of his side of the family to go to college and graduate, so he's proud of all I have accomplished, but we all want to move on with our lives, and I know he and my mother both are putting their lives on hold to see me through... They understand and they don't blame me. Sucks they're so damned wonderful and understanding about it, lol. Not really, but you know what I mean... I feel bad. All I know is, I'm going to be up that school's ass about any other loopholes they can find to screw me... I'm getting my damn degree and getting the hell out of there so we can all move on with our lives.
