Dumb-A** Student Loan Companies

So apparently the last few days I have been in a ranting mood. I'm actually surprised no one picked on me for the last one, but maybe you were all afraid I'd then fly over and beat you up, of course then at least you'd see me. Or maybe inside you all think I am right about sterilization and killing... though hopefully not.

So I called a student loan company, the one which handles SELF loans, because they had denied my forbearance. Really, I have no job but I am apparently expected to pay over 100 dollars a month to my student loans. When I called them I was not in the best mood (obviously) and the lady wasn't very helpful. She told me why my forbearance request was denied but she said she didn't want to send out another one because it would just be denied again... well actually it won't because I will change the information, but she doesn't need to know that. She tried to get me to sign up to have the payments lowered, though I don't know why this would help because I HAVE NO MONEY. Then, after I raised my voice a little, she said she was just trying to help. And I lost it and yelled at her 'NO YOUR NOT YOUR COMPANY NEVER TRIES TO HELP YOU'RE JUST TRYING TO SCREW ME'... which they are, because they harrassed me for missing a payment (which I actually didn't miss - they made a mistake) only ONE WEEK overdue. They are an insane, mean, destructive company and please NEVER EVER get a SELF loan if you can avoid it. You can't ever consolidate these loans because of some dumb-ass law.

But I got a second forbearance request sent out to me, so hopefully I will be able to get it approved this time.

And those of you who don't have loans are very, very lucky.

So now my rant is done. I will probably be working at some company or another, temping, tomorrow so I won't see any of you online. Actually the only reason I am going back is because of said loan company; and that Evil Coffee Corp (v 1.0) start date isn't coming up for a couple of weeks. Back to horrible administrative work I go...
