The Queen of Procrastination® strikes again! Student loan interest rates are jumping a couple of percentage points (to 4.7%) on July 1st and I've had my consolidation papers in my possession since May 15th or so and I'm just now finishing them up to get them postmarked by June 30th. I'm such a dork. I hope a couple of my CollegeAmerica loans are able to be included in the consolidation. When filling out the paperwork, I realized one of the damned loans is at 13.5%. Why in the world did I agree to that? No wonder the prinicple is still rather high. It's just like a damned credit card, apparently. So, we'll see. I'm going to try and get graduated payments where the payments are lower at first (while I get my business going) and get bigger over time (by time I'm rich -- mwaa haaa haaa).
I've got to get out of pizza (I know—you've all heard that before!). Our store got hit with $650 in bad checks last week alone and a driver was robbed and beat up for his pizzas. In addition to sales totally sucking ass, I'm sure the owner is really not wanting to continue paying my salary. As slow as it is, there is no reason the rest of the staff can't handle it. Besides, we all know that I don't want to be there, either.
Yesterday really bit the big one. They're changing over from canned soda to 20 oz. bottles. The walk-in was packed with pop. I can't seem to convince anybody that except for 2-liters, they don't really sell that much soda. I also can't convince anybody that there is no reason for both food orders to show up on the same day. The stupid owner has to use one company so that they'll deliver to the stores in Utah, but we can't get everything we need and some stuff is cheaper or better quality from our original food service company. So, every Tuesday and Friday there are two food deliveries. What's even more insane is that the original company will deliver on any day of the week except Sunday. Nothing that is delivered on Tuesday is so urgent that it couldn't be delivered on Wednesday. The manager also won't allow food orders to arrive during the day because it screws up his schedule. It's all crap. I also refuse to put away food orders since I don't get any sort of compensation for it. Back when the manager and I got along, if I did work that was outside my duties (like food orders or cleaning), he reciprocated the favor by paying me for days that I had to take off. Well, I took a couple of days off around my graduation last month and didn't get paid for them, so all extra work by me immediately ceased. So, with all the pop and food, there was no room in there to put dough. I basically got up early and drove over there to sit on my butt for two hours until I could go to my other job. I was PISSED!!!!! I thought about going home, but I really don't want to put unnecessary miles on my car or waste gas.
I just have to plow through the crap and remember that better times are ahead.
Well, I guess I'd better get these loan papers in the mail and get to work. I'm so looking forward to the day I don't have to get up at 2 am and drive to the pizza place.
