Sometimes I wonder....
Do things really get worse before they get better? Do good things really come to those who wait? I mean really? Does this stuff actually happen?
So lately I realize I need an output for my stress, anger, and frustrations. So here I am...outputting my anger, stress and frustrations. Will anyone ever see this? Probably not.
So I get an amazing job offer on December 23rd. They want my start date to be Jan. 11th. Wonderful! Put in my 2 weeks and last day of hotel madness was Jan 6th. Giving me 5 days to move to Columbia and be all set up!
But oh wait! Its pendant on your background check coming back fine. No big deal I've lived at 2 addresses my whole life, had 3 real jobs and got a GED. Nothing major there -- shouldn't take any time at all right?
Well first! No one's in HR until after the first of the year for some bazaar reason the entire HR dept had the holidays off?!?~! So no one was around to approve my 'offer package'. Well this is starting out nicely. Sooo on Jan 5th I finally get an email stating the package has been approved and should be sent out that day. Nope.......They lost the packet. The packet was lost for a bloody week. So start date pushed back to the 18th. Fine...Money will be a little tight but no biggy.
I FINALLY get my packet on the 11th of Jan. I fax everything over like I'm suppose to and I fedex everything back like I'm spose to. After I fax everything I'm spose to get an email where I can fill out all the information regarding my background check. It's spose to be almost immediately. Doesnt happen until the 15th!
Finally the bg check starts on the 18thish of January... OMG They cant verify some employers. Why? I dont know seriously wtf. They are companys that have been around for years what kind of idiots are you. After faxing my W2's to prove I worked for companys I said I did -- I get an email stating they cant find proof of my GED. I email and fax copys of my GED -- but oh darn we need to push your start date back AGAIN. This time to the 25th...money is beyond tight now....
So today comes around........................Still unable to verify GED information. You have got to be kidding..........................I email and fax copys AGAIN (this will make 3x's I think). At about 2pm I get a call saying they are going to have to push my start date back AGAIN to Feb 1st...I get angry...I finally blow a cork -- I tell them no way can I afford another week. I'm already broke -- what do you think another week is going to do to me. I go around and round and finally she agrees to have her manager call me back -- because still the BG check company cant verify I got a GED.
Soooooo I take matters into my own hands and in under a hour I have it verified by not only myself but my ex boss. IN UNDER A HOUR. I email everyone I've delt with the phone numbers and names of the ppl I talked to in the GED Office....A little over a hour later I get a call saying I will be starting Monday the 25th at 8AM.
I had to do my own bg check!! Are you serious! Are you people morons or what?
So I'm still stressing over this because I wont believe it's actually so until I show up Monday and I'm not sent home.
To end the evening the person I'm now staying with goes grocery shopping and comes home and starts putting away his groceries in the fridge. Ok...np...cept when he's done he finally saunters into my room and says things changed this is where I put this and this and that...k np again ~ I go out to the kitchen a little bit later to notice that several items are gone not to be found.........Why? Because he threw them away.......................................Why? I dont know...he didnt ask me...I was less than 20 feet away...Why wouldnt he ask me? Especially knowing I used the last of my money to buy those items..............only thing I get is 'oh well I can give you cash if you want'..............Why? So you can toss more stuff out?
I will give him credit he isnt charging me rent until I get back on my feet from this fiasco of a job change but still ~ That put a great end to a perfect day....
Thank you kind sir can I have another kick in the gut today?
Do you remember what it was like to live pay check to pay check? Were you ever in that kind of situation where things really mattered? Has anyone? We're talking 5$ or less in the bank by the end of 2 weeks.....
*sniff*
Upside of this whole day:
I do get to start on the 25th (Per the current rumor)
I have an amazing friend who has an amazing heart and who may forget me from time to time but I'm in his heart -- thank you Joel, I can not replace you even if I wanted to.
I wonder how tomorrow will go.
