Another job applied to..

[skreidle]

How's this for convoluted?

Erin F works for BearingPoint (formerly KPMG Consulting), who is looking to hire programmers (specifically Microsoft .Net/VB/C#, but training will be provided so any technical people are welcomed to apply.)

Christine W is Erin's roommate, and works for PEC. She forwarded the request to Matt F, also at PEC and a co-worker of my dad's. Dad suggested he forward it to me, and that I email my resume to Christine.

So I've done so. Not ideal--i.e., not control systems--but could be interesting, and certainly pays better than Petsmart. (And given that within the month, I'll have college loan payments kicking in to the tune of several hundred dollars per months, quite possibly more than I net from Petsmart, I should probably take what I can get.)

Oh god. You had to mention student loans. I think I start paying now, but I have no idea what's going on, and at the moment, I cannot find the right folder.

I am so clueless that it's scary. Someone should revoke my license to be an adult, force me to unpack all my boxes, and return my security deposit to my savings account.

I did get approved for the apartment, which involved a credit check, so I must be safe for the moment, right?

Actually, now I've found the site I was looking for, but despite all this 'pay online!' hoopla, I can't actually find a way to pay online. It's all mind games.

Fuck! Fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck! I'm going to end up defaulting and ruining my life all because I can't figure out where to send my goddamned money!

I'm a wee bit stressed about this, can you tell?

Hi there. Who is your Student Loan owner? I deal with 2 so maybe I can help.

Heh.. well, if you want to know mine.. Citibank, GLHEC (Key), and Federal Direct.

Had nooo idea.

Got me. I keep getting mail from both creditors and loan consolidation companies, and some of the repayment dates are coming right up.. need to do something about that shortly. Failing anything else, I'll make the first payments and then have a month to figure out a better plan.

If you are unemployed or underemployed, you can get a temporary hardship forbearance. It is different from a deferral because you'll still be responsible for the interest, but it can give you an additional 6 months to get your act together.

Thanks.. I'll keep that in mind, if it becomes necessary. (At worst, I'll make the first couple payments while figuring out what to do next.)
