RRoW(pwny) Episode #8: Well, I got screwed

Well, hey everypony. I wish I had a better topic to discuss for the 8th Episode of Random Ramblings of a Ponified Wing -- but I don't. Honestly, this may be the first time in my life that I feel the karma of my universe is completely fucking totaled. I moved on Sunday to start a new job, and the entire process has just sucked in every possible way.

 

For starters, I was supposed to move on Friday, but the moving company called me and asked if I could change my departure to Sunday to help with their schedule. I agreed because I generally tried to be a helpful person, but it just opened up the nightmare to come. At 7:30 AM on Sunday, I got a call from the drivers, saying they were 10 minutes away. They didn't show up until 9. They proceeded to act like assholes -- commenting about how I still had things to be packed (when I paid for full packing services). And then they were slow. It took them four hours; I would have gotten it done in two. One of them spent almost the entire time on the phone discussing other move jobs. It was a pain.

 

But then... but then... when they leave they leave a receipt. It's a modified inventory from the papers I had signed agreeing to the insurance clause. It seems that they have the right to modify the price after the fact. I had been quoted at 2260, and after all my stuff had been loaded, the price magically changed to 3800. Now, my shit is being held hostage while I complain. I moved away from my social circle; I don't have a home to call my own; and I'm suddenly supposed to magic 1500$ from the fucking vacuum.

 

-.-

 

Did I mention my new desk is an IKEA table, and no work comp has been provided? That's like death in physics, btw. I really have no idea what the flying fuck I'm doing here any more. I've gone through a lot of shit in my life, and I have never felt so much rage (and the strange kind of quiet rage) ever before. It's like I'm watching myself slowly wither away from all of this.

 

On the other hand, I really have to thank some people on here, for dragging my head about water for the past few days.

@@Concord, @,@@Motion Spark -- who have carried on so much conversation with me lately...

 

@@Twiliscael, - Your kindness last night was really touching. It's why I love this community. And it's why we nuzzles Dawn Rider. lol

 

@, (aka Key Gear) -- Both character and dude behind the character... XP You gave me the first stress free two hours I've had since the move, and I thank you a lot for it.

 

 

Get the hell off my text file, you Celestia-blessed hippies!
