Hee! I only hope I remember a tenth of that, in case I ever owe money again.

Thanks for this link. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time.

Hahahaha! I linked to that, too. Small world, hm?

That was stupendous. All is forgiven. (Not that there was anything to forgive, but this wipes out about three days' worth of stress.)

Huh. To me it reads like fabulist (whom I don't know at all) is being an asshole to someone who is just doing their job and had no choice about whether or not to call fabulist and ask for a payment which, as far as I can tell, was legitimately owed.

What am I missing?

What am I missing?

Whatever it is, I missed it too, once I got far enough in to realize that it wasn't a case of identity mixup or other company error.

Having been in a similar situation (not that I ever strung them along in quite that manner), it's the fact that when you say that you are unemployed and do not have the money at that present time and you don't know when you will be employed, or have the money, yet they keep you in a circular conversation and persist to call day after day after day, no matter how many times you explain your situation. Not all are like that, but many are.

I wasn't writing a book or anything, but sent out resumes and made an effort (and worked low-end, part-time, temporary positions just to make rent and food on the table) for a solid 7 months, and it was scary and stressful, and the constant phone calls and at times, truly nasty people on the other end sometimes set me over the edge of anger, frustration and deep, deep depression.

It's such an awful situation to be in, so his post to me, was a comic relief of sorts.

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks!

I concur. It's not nice to take out your frustration on people who are in no way responsible for your problems.
