Random Fail: First World Problems

[Astylla]

Congrats in all fronts glad things are working out.

My fail : I'm still recovering from what is pretty nailed down as severe food poisoning from Florida. I've gotten bad bouts of stomach issues but never truly understood how debilitating actual food borne illness could be.

I was always anal about my cleanliness in food prep before but fuck after these days of misery I feel like my kitchen needs to be scrubbed in bleach.

Still waiting on final tests to rule out anything else but feeling weak , nauseated and constant stomach gurgling and cramping since Sunday is hell.

Should've shown them BG. They'd quickly be like yeah no we don't need you

I applied for student loan repayment assistance, and have been since I graduated my course 2 years ago because "you can get assistance until you find a job in your field of study or something equivalent". Turns out I had a loan from both the Govt of Canada and Alberta. My dad lent me money to pay off the Canadian loan, and now I'm dealing with archaic Alberta who doesnt even have a fucking email address to send in proof of my income or what not. In order to approve my repayment assistance (which before was all done through the Govt site, all online..and repayment assistance was basically the govt waiving the monthly interest), they need me to send them my April income (by fax, who the fuck faxes things)...I got 3 paychecks in April just because of how paydays landed (April 1, 15, 29), so I'm essentially fucked because these retards are gonna assume I make a lot more money than I actually make monthly. If I'm lucky, they'll approve me for "lowered repayment", which is "paying the interest". Thanks.

I should have fucking paid the Alberta one first, had I known these guys were living in the stone age still.

Lol actually no , I got food poisoning from a restaurant called BJ Brewhouse on Sunday afternoon confirmed by doctors early Monday AM as I was taken to ambulance to the hospital.

The sandwich was on our departure day from Florida and was the first solid food I ate after 36 hours of initial hell.

Just send them the first 2 paystubs?

Aren't you supposed to get paid for Jury Duty

[Astylla]

Aren't you supposed to get paid for Jury Duty

Many retail / service industry employers don't offer jury duty pay and the pay per day from the court itself is something meager like $25/day I think.

[synistar]

In LA, it's $15 per day starting on the 2nd day plus 34 cents a mile one way from residence to courthouse. Cheap government too broke to pay for the round trip.

At least your goverment isn't $70B in debt.

California too busy wasting money left and right with very little of it really going to what it's said to and "losing" money with no idea where it went. But boy I'm sure glad the tax increases we approved sure helped the politicians and their friends

[Aragon of Odin]

Uh, isn't Americas debt in the trillions? I'm sure they'd be more than pleased if it was only $70B

[Airenn]

What Ast and syn both said. It's not a win really for me anyway I sling it. Just gotta deal with it and suck it up as life being shit for a bit.

Well actually, California's debt alone is $400B.
California also has 163,695 sq mi with 38.8m people living in it.

Comparatively, PR has 1,136.33 sq mi with 3.4m people.

We have a higher population density than the entire states.
Our debt is higher than even some states, comparable to being 17.5% of Cali's total debt while being 0.69% of their respective size, and ~8.8% of the people.

Our government has no reason to require as many resources as it does. It just binged harder than someone with a gambling problem on spending, and now we're in a financial crisis.

Woo.

If you really need to just claim financial hardship to postpone for a year. I've had to do it before and was easy.

[Airenn]

It's way too late for that now. Trial has started lol.

I'm just putting it out here for the fail of it all. Jury duty. Ugh.

I'm exempt for a year after this, and it's not going to break me, just impedes on the routine a bit which is annoying.

I wanted to get back into doing more work after the Vaca I had but apparently life just wanna be annoying is all.

[Astylla]

Ah got it ! Well hope it goes quickly.
