Financial Aid

I have to vent, so fair warning.

On Thursday my school was supposed to send out my financial aid, I have been watching all January for any notices that there was paperwork or other things that might have held up my financial aid. There has not even been a hint that something might have held up the check. My FIL has been waiting for this check as much as I have been, I owe him money, Hubby is supposed to buy shoes and his own books out of this check. I need to pay some other bills with this fucking check.

It did not arrive on Friday or Saturday, just on a hunch I called today (Monday) to make sure it had been mailed and all was well. I felt the ton of bricks hit me mighty hard when they said that it had not been sent and in their own words "It had been attempted but something stopped it" They could not tell me what this "something" was because they did not know, the person I was talking to transferred me to the financial aid department (I was speaking with disbursement). The person at the financial aid department did not know why they had stopped my check so I would have to wait until later this afternoon.

Now I have two MAJOR problems here.

1. Why the FUCK did they not tell me that they were holding it even for a reason they did not know, I mean, shouldn't I have been notified that they didn't send the fucking thing. This is not the first issue I have had with financial aid, last semester they did the same thing...sort of, they "forgot" to tell me that they did not have all the info and so they held my check, this is why I have been so vigilant about checking holds and what not this time...and it did me no difference to be vigilant!!

2. When I told my FIL about the problem he got very upset...not at them...at me, for not calling them sooner! Cause I should have, with my ESP, known that there was a problem when there did not appear to be one.

I am just fucking livid here...I have to go talk to them now...wish me luck with these stupid fucks!!
