A little venting never hurt anyone, yes?<\/p>\n<p>So, like, a month ago, I ordered some Pony shirts because I am that kind of person apparently. I got <a href=\"http:\/\/www.welovefine.com\/product.php?id_product=742\">this one<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.welovefine.com\/product.php?id_product=640\">this one<\/a>. There was no notice that these were preorders or anything. I was hoping to have them before the new season started. That didn&#8217;t happen. It took about a month, and when the box got here, it had shirts in it that I did not order and would certainly never wear. I called the company, and was told that I should leave a message and would be called back &#8220;in a few minutes.&#8221; That didn&#8217;t happen, and I had to go to work.<\/p>\n<p>This story has a happy ending, or at least the start of one. The customer service person DID get back to me, gave me a free shipping label for the wrong shirts, and said she is sending out my real order today by a quicker shipping method. She was very polite and nice when doing it, so I can&#8217;t fault her for that. Still, I&#8217;m certainly going to rethink ordering shirts from them again, as that as kind of crazy.<\/p>\n<p>The other story is more up in the air.<\/p>\n<p>For the past month, I have been trying to get this home loan thing finished. I&#8217;m closing on the house on the 7th, and everything needs to be good to go then. Throughout this month, I have had many panic moments, mostly having to do with a mutual fund I have. See, I gave them a statement for it, but it didn&#8217;t have page 3 and 4, which my mother destroyed because they had no information on it. I have, during various points this month, given them at least 3 OTHER documents with the information about the mutual fund on it that they would need. However, they are holding up my loan because I don&#8217;t have pages 3 and 4 of the original document.<\/p>\n<p>Today, I found out, via a statement for an unrelated mutual fund, what is on pages 3 and 4 that my mother threw away. It&#8217;s ads. Pages 3 and 4 are nothing but ads for other services the mutual fund wants you to sign up for. My loan is being held up because they don&#8217;t have two pages of ADS. Makes me want to crack my skull against my desk.<\/p>\n<p>I think we&#8217;ve finally got solutions in place (although this is about the third time I&#8217;ve thought that about this bullshit) and everything should be fine now. But gods, what a pain in the ass. I mean, yes, I am borrowing a bunch of money, but goddamn. They do this everyday. Something so stupid shouldn&#8217;t be an issue.<\/p>\n<p>Hi! This paragraph is from me many hours after I wrote the previous one! Guess what? I&#8217;m totally screwed because I went to school! Isn&#8217;t that great?<br \/>\nBasically, we dealt with that bullshit, but then they decided that they have to use the amount of money I was making when I was a full-time student to determine the loan, as opposed to what I am making now. Because that fucking makes sense, right? So because I wasn&#8217;t working 40 hours a week while also teaching 20 hours a week and going to school full time, I now can&#8217;t get a loan. Which I was basically promised would not be any sort of issue for me to get. HOW FANTASTIC. *bangs head against desk*<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, those are some of the anger-inducing things I&#8217;ve been dealing with! Hopefully your time is going a lot better.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let me just explain how the last couple of days went for me, frustration-wise.
