Chapter 151: Biloxi, Mississippi: Land of Broke
Will the money ever start flowing? I'd like it to, but it seems like time after time, there is something going wrong or slowing up the process. I found out today that I was going to have to overnight a hard copy of all my docs up to Starkville so that it can go through to Human Resources because apparently the faxed copies weren't clear enough. I called up to check and see what the MSU FedEx number was and they told me that I'd need to pay to get it sent up. Umm... where do you think that I'm going to get the 20 bucks to send something up north if I haven't gotten paid yet and I'm basically begging that they send me something by the 1st so I can sign my lease? *sigh* Anyhow, I think everything is going to be on it's way now. I politely e.mailed them after I sent it out and asked them to send it back up overnight via FedEx so I think we're even... at least when they pay me we will be.
On the other hand, I do relish the chain reaction that will occur when I get the money. I can sign my lease so that I officially can call my place home. Then I can pay my phone bill so that I can call the AAA and pay to get my car fixed so that I can drive my broke-ass computer to the Gulfport Best Buy so that I can enjoy the internet that we now have at our house. Ahh, the joys of payment for services rendered. Soon you will be mine and all shall be right in the world once more.
Maybe Montgomery Burns had it right when he said, "I'd trade it all for a little more"... excellent.
