re: #127 Absalom, Absalom, Obdicut

Yeah, I’ve spent the last couple of weeks on the phone trying to sort out:

1)Switching phone companies. I would rather be stuck in the eye with a hot fork. Both companies messed up leaving me with 700 dollars(including early termination fees) worth of bills when it should have been 250 less. Yesterday alone was over 90 minutes of being transferred from this person to that one and saying the same thing over and over. I think it’s fixed now.

2)My big project is calling everyone on a really long list to bug the shit out of them until I can get some straight answers as to why my son won’t be going into a program for young adults with autism until MAYBE next year. If assholes weren’t messing with the funding for this, he would have been there for a month already. I also found out his college will not be paid for, so I have to figure out how to help him navigate that madness. The state of GA was supposed to tell us this crap, and it took me a week(one day I was on the phone for almost six freaking hours and no one bothered to mention this detail) to find just that part out. I don’t blame the bureaucracy, I blame the federal level politicans holding money hostage and our idiot governor messing with the state level status of this agency by changing it’s oversight THREE times since Feb. I also blame him for cutting taxes to the point that the state funds (which determine the federal funds) are practically nothing now. Then I find out yesterday that the GOP want to slash the Depts of Education, HHS, and Labor another 20 percent. That happens, this program is done. After they spent 10 million dollars to rebuild and staff this place. So they can help young people with disabilities become independent. So they aren’t “moochers” at the mercy of bullshit cuts like this.

Sigh. And my 20th anniversary is tomorrow and I have no idea what to get the Husband. He has everything I could think of to get him already. I feel like crying.
