    I better get dressed. ;)

    I'm really mad right now. Work screwed up my cheque and not in my favor. They're around $1000 dollars short, money that I need right now. Money that's already been allocated to things.

    I sent them an email, re-sent all my time sheets. That was over 3 hours ago and I haven't heard anything back.

    I worked for that money, I shouldn't have to fight for it! :(

    Also, I shouldn't have to make sure that they do their jobs correctly. What if I hadn't checked? How often does this get screwed up? Have they screwed me before but I didn't notice because I thought they were competent enough to get it right?

    Angry. Really angry! :(

    Isn't it a government run place Alty? I would be p*ss*d too.

    Something that ticks me off is when you pay all your bills and sometimes you get an extra bill like from a doctor and you know that you paid it but you have to spend a hour on the phone with their billing department to straighten it out. Or like recently, we have maintenance insurance on all of our major appliances. We pay them up for the year and within a month or so we get billed again on each appliance separately ---again spending time on the phone. They say "sorry, we will fix it" each time and boom next month, same thing.

    Some times I really believe that they do this on purpose, thinking that maybe 10 to 30% of us will just go ahead an pay it so they can collect more of our money, thinking that well, if they call we will adjust the bill, if not... good for us... bast*rds ! I've even had it happen with utility bills...

    If they'd at least contact me, tell me they're looking into it, then I could relax.

    Here's the thing. I expected that paycheque. I worked for it. I worked hard for it. We're on a tight budget, I don't work because I'm a bored housewife, I work because we really need the money.

    Because I was expecting to get paid for the hours I worked, we bought some necessary items with hubby's cheque. Items we wouldn't have bought had we known that this would happen. Now, if they don't fix this, we'll be short. Very short. $1000 dollars short.

    No, we didn't buy extravagant items. We bought things we'd been putting off, like new boots for Sydney and a winter jacket for Jared. We also bought new socks. Yes, money is tight. Heck, if you have to debate buying toilet paper then you know things are tight. They're tight.

    Now I'm in a panic. If this isn't resolved today then it will have to wait until Monday. I didn't plan for this mistake. I shouldn't have to. I worked for the money, I should get the money, or at least get a phone call explaining what the hell happened.

    Yes, angry Alty. I only hope I can control my anger when and if they finally contact me.

    Sorry for the vent guys. I'm just really upset about this. :(

    Makes you mad doesn't it. I've had something similar with my cable bill.

    My cable wasn't working. I paid a one time thing when I signed up that covers service calls. Meaning if I have a problem they come fix it for free. So anyway I needed it fixed and they were trying to walk me through it. I said I couldn't find what they were explaining so they said they needed to send an 'expert' out to fix it. So I said OK, when can you have it fixed and they said Saturday. I said OK thanks. They said it would be $50 something to come out and fix it. Then I told them I paid for the service calls. They argued I didn't. So I said well do me a favor and cancell my service. He put me on hold and then came back and said they would have someone out there the next day and fix it for free. What the hell was wrong with doing that to begin with? I got it a day earlier too. Argh!!

    If I had the address I'd be there.

    I used to do payroll for the company I worked for a long time ago, I always double checked to make sure everything was right.

    I know that we're all human, we all make mistakes, but this is unforgivable, more so because they won't contact me.

    $1000 is no small change, not to me. We need that money. Christmas is around the corner and right now it's not looking good. I want to give my kids a wonderful Christmas.

    Top it off with the fact that hubby is going back to school in January, for two months. That mean unemployment for that time. I was told that the flu campaign would run till March. That would mean that I'd be working until then, helping with the load. Now they're thinking it will end at the end of December.

    Do they pay people for donating organs? I have 2 kidneys, I wonder what a kidney is worth?

    I'm not kidding! I'm that desperate.

    One thing people should know is that you don't mess with peoples money. I got a big lecture about that one time at work. I messed up a report a long time ago and it goes up and up and up through people and someone finallyu caught it thankfully. Well, if it hadn't then goodbye bonus money for somebody and a long line of a$$ chewing followed down the line until it got to me. Haha

    Since this is so important, I would get down there and talk to them personally.

    EDIT: Then I would call where you work and gt them involved, maybe call your boss. Or even go there personally.

    This brings customer service into question also Adam, cable companies are notorious for 'games' like this. What has ever happened to good customer service, seems now it is try to scr*w them first.

    It's deposited directly into my account. I get a pay stub, but no address on it.

    I've emailed, I've called (got voice mail) and expressed that this is very urgent and needs to be rectified today.

    I hate discussing my finances here. I don't like talking about this at all. Sadly we're barely living pay cheque to pay cheque. If only my sister-in-law would give us our inheritance. She owes us a lot of money, 3 years overdue. :(

    I'm sure that I'm getting an ulcer because of all of this.

    How about prostitution? Do you think anyone would pay for a slightly older woman with two kids and a husband? ;)
