dchenesGetting unsolicited email from the federal student loan people is right up there on the list of things that make me nervous. It seems that somebody on their end used my information for somebody with the same last name, or something like that. I got a "notice of correction", but it didn't say what they had corrected or what, if anything, I have to do about it. I really do not want to end up owing them money for their own error, thank you very much.
Today, compared to Monday and Tuesday, is absolutely dead. Which doesn't mean there's nothing going on; it just means I was caught up by 9:00 this morning. I'm waiting for a minor explosion from some people who have been calling me for a week, because they want me to come up with both a date and a location for a lecture. The last email I sent them (with the blessing of my boss) said, in effect, "Sorry, it doesn't work like that. This was your idea, so do your own planning." Of course, I've told four different people from their office the same thing since last week, so apparently they don't talk to each other. On top of which, the first person I talked to gave me the wrong number to call back. I tried to call her and got a carpet cleaning company. You really should know your own phone number if you're going to be leaving it for somebody to call you back...
The temp agency I'm not working for at the moment is catching up on its messages from two weeks ago. I guess they don't talk to each other either, because last week I told them not to call me until October. These are the people who keep telling me about jobs that require "excellent oral and written communication skills", which I find ironic.
I could swear I've been speaking English this week, but nobody seems to understand it when I do. Is Mercury in retrograde again, by any chance?
