So, I was complaining last month that my paycheck was terrible, because in their infinite wisdom the university decided to divide my pay for teaching into 4 months, but my fees for tuition (as a PhD student) into the first 3. That left me with very little money ($300 after rent + main bills) to live on, not to mention a nasty credit card debt from the summer that I still needed to cover. I was pissed, but at least I could still live. Figured it wouldn't get any worse - could only get better; lived modestly to say the least and have actually been losing weight due to saving money on food.
Anyway, I thought that at the very least, the university wouldn't be able to make me angrier than I already was, and once I got over the stupid paycheck, it was all good.
Until earlier today... well, let me just paste the IRC log on this:
[18:31] <Otohiko> ...
[18:31] <Otohiko> fuck waterloo
[18:31] <Otohiko> you fucking bloodsucking motherfucker cockcunts
[18:31] <Otohiko> (I bet you've never heard me swear like this before, huh)
[18:32] <Otohiko> you know how I was bitching last month that my paycheck was miserly
[18:32] <trythil> yes
[18:32] <Otohiko> because my teaching job was paid for 4 months, but the university deducted tuition during first 3 months
[18:32] <Otohiko> so I was like "goddamit"
[18:32] <Otohiko> so this morning, I check my account
[18:32] <Otohiko> and I actually have more money than I expected
[18:33] <Otohiko> I naturally praise Jah Rastafari and pay down most of my credit card bill promptly
[18:33] <Otohiko> several hours later, I get this in my email...
Good afternoon!
At your request (in your Promissory Note for Fall 2011), a payment plan was established earlier in the term to direct a portion of your monthly pay to your student account to pay your student fees for the Fall 2011 term. We’ve been advised that because of an administrative error, the deduction for October was not made.
Please arrange to make a bank payment directly to your student account to pay the amount which was inadvertently paid to you
[18:34] <Otohiko> you have no idea how hard it was to type out a response that was not "fuck you"
[18:34] <Otohiko> it's their problem and I'm not taking this shit from them
[18:35] <Otohiko> how the fuck is this even normal.
[18:35] <Otohiko> I just basically told them that since I already used up the funds and my payroll is guaranteed for an extra month anyway, they can take away that money from my December paycheck
[18:35] <Otohiko> ...and go fuck themselves
...seriously
The Birds are using humanity in order to throw something terrifying at this green pig. And then what happens to us all later, that’s simply not important to them…
