Random Thoughts That Don't Deserve Their Own Thread Go Here - Page 179

molson · 07-12-2012, 07:54 PM

I got a nice $5,000 loan grant for working in public service. Or at least, I thought I did. The federal government sent the money to the state distributor of that grant program in January, and then the state distributor sent it back to the federal government direct student loan servicing center. And that was about 5 months ago. The state distributor sent one big $24,000 check that was meant to be split between 4 other grant winners. My hunch is that that was too complicated for direct loan servicing to figure out and they just gave all $24,000 to one of the grant winners (the state distributor says the check was definitely cashed, a few months ago) The lady on the phone at direct loans just now thought the same thing. She said I should try to get the hypothetical person who may have gotten my money by mistake to call in and help straighten it out (whoever that is)

The state distributor is responsive to my emails but doesn't seem to be doing anything to figure this out. Apparently, direct loan servicing can track checks, but not unless they have about 12 pieces of info about it (name, date it cleared, routing number, etc.)......I've never seen the check of course, so I have to rely on the state distributor to provide that information.

And today, with no notice, direct loan transferred my loan to some weird other loan service, apparently this is part of new student loan legislation. What are the odds direct loan servicing finds my check and actually gets it to whatever "Aspire Resources" is in the next 20 years?

Also, to accept this check, I signed an agreement to work in public service for 3 more years. I wonder if it's still binding. I want to take a job in the private sector now out of spite and just to see if they try to enforce it.

And pretty soon the grant program is going to start taking applications for next year's awards. I'm supposed to get "priority consideration" for another (hypothetical) $5k. Maybe when I'm 70 they'll figure it out and give me a huge check with interest.

Edit: Also, I had to fill out an I.R.S. form because I have to pay taxes on the $5,000. I have no doubt they're going to think I owe that, even if I never get the money I might be worth just paying it then fighting with the I.R.S. It'd be fascinating if I ended up losing money to the government because I work in public service.

That's such a 20th century type problem. Everyone involved should be fired.

Ya, I'm trying to decide what kind of ruckus I should make. The state distributor that handles these applications and this grant is a state university. And it's a small state, and a even smaller legal community (it's a grant for public service lawyers), so I feel like the right letters or phone calls could help something good happen, even if it's just a double award next year at some other punk's expense.

Of course, if there's some other lawyer out there sitting happy with a $24k treasure trove, you'd have to think they'll figure that out eventually. I mean, they know who got awards. I just don't know that anyone is going to follow up on it and figure anything out, I've gotten nowhere in 4 months.

Lost an old friend today. He was one of the witnesses at our wedding, and was my wife and my first roommate. He was a big, giant of a man, special forces in Vietnam, and was the most loyal friend you could ever have. The world is just a little bit darker without Frank in it.

Call your your congressman's office for constituent services. (this appears to be wholly federal, if there's an actual state component call your state legislators as well). Be nice, or at least be neutral and just a regular Joe looking for help. Even the slightest bit of grease from there might make things work considerably more smoothly.

If that fails, call whichever TV station has a ripped off consumer watchdog reporting guy ... a chance to tear into an f'ed up bureaucracy might have some appeal to them.

I started watching the video with the Dolphins Cheerleaders doing Call Me Maybe yesterday, got a work e-mail and tabbed away from the video. A couple minutes later I realized that I was no longer watching the dolphins cheerleaders and instead just listening to the song. I was so disgusted at myself.

Passacaglia · 07-13-2012, 01:26 AM

So a little over three weeks ago, we had twin boys. It's a handful, and we've had a lot of help from both our mothers, but little things they do drive us crazy. I'm sure I'll come up with other examples when it's not 1:30 in the morning, but the one I'm thinking of now is that, sometimes, they'll take their dishes, and instead of putting them in the half-full dishwasher, they'll wash it, and put it on the drying rack. I don't understand the motivation. It's a waste of their time hand-washing this stuff, when we have a machine that does it for us, it means that it's longer until the dishwasher is full and we can run it, and it takes up space on the drying rack that we need for bottles. I guess they're trying to help, but it just doesn't make any sense to me.

Shkspr · 07-13-2012, 02:57 AM

I was really impressed with the twins' motor skills there for a sec. I probably should have read the second sentence instead of skipping to the third.

So we get very few thunderstorms here in the PAcific Northwest. We are having one now and it is the second or third I remember in 4 years. I am staring out the window at work watching a guy who works at the car dealership next to my office, standing on a metal ladder powerwashing the side of the building. This may not end well.

Honolulu_Blue · 07-13-2012, 11:39 AM

There are a few fighter jets, I can't quite tell what kind, flying past my office window along the Detroit River.

I've used Page plus with a Verizon phone. TMo has a sweet data/text plan for $30 if you order online. WalMart's Straighttalk(on AT&T) is 45$/month for unlimited talk/text and limited data.

There's some good unlocked phones on amazon.

Thanks for the feedback. I've been looking at Virgin and Boost, most reviews prefer Boost and consider them the top non-contract provider out there.

larrymcg421 · 07-15-2012, 09:00 AM

I use MetroPCS which is unlimited data/text for $50.

stevew · 07-15-2012, 09:49 AM

Boost/Virgin are both Sprint. Sprint sucks in my area, but I'm sure it's ymmv.

For the most part net10=StraightTalk=AT&T
SIMply mobile=T Mobile
I think Cricket works on the Verizon network.

Poli · 07-15-2012, 02:22 PM

When I was a boy I used to want to be part of the GI Joe team, even if it was fictional. When the cartoon series from the 80s became available on Netflix via streaming I smiled. I couldn't wait to watch them again.

During one episode the GI Joe team assaults the Cobra base in the desert. Tanks, jets, helicopters, motorcycles. GI Joe spared no expense to take care of Cobra once and for all.

They even brought in the hang gliders.

Can you imagine the briefing room?

Alright, everything is in place. Let's get ready to go. Let's get all the vehicles ready for combat.

Wait, what about Poli? He didn't get an assignment.

Can we just leave him here?

Would you want to leave him here?

Well...he's not riding in my jet.

He's not riding in my tank, either!

Hey, do we have any of those gliders? Just tell him to fly one of those.

Poli · 07-15-2012, 02:24 PM

And who authorized GI JOE to purchase hang gliders?! Our tax dollars are paying for hang gliders and presumably for lessons on how to fly them!

sterlingice · 07-15-2012, 02:38 PM

I'm sure those were sold to kids as Tactical Hang Gliders

SI

Autumn · 07-15-2012, 05:52 PM

I had to use those little UPC symbols from the GI JOe stuff to send away for one of those hang gliders! And a sweet sail board.
