Housing: Fucking Veterans Over Since 1903

I wont even begin to get into what I have done with myself this semester off. I've been all over the damn place.

For now, its back home and working for the old man until I hit JRTC in May.

Well, its that time of year again, and I am getting my shit together to go back to school. Yeeeaaahhhh. Once again, the priotrity points bullshit has bit me in the ass again. I KNOW they forfeited my priority points from freshman year because they just tried to forfeit them again for this semester. So, it looks like im gonna really have to kick this one in the ass. I'm planning on arranging a meeting with the head honcho in housing so she can say "no" to my face instead of pushing me off on the phone. A little background:

Iraq: lost a lot of priority points because they forfeited my freshman year points. Also, I think they should compensate me for the time I lost. Christ, I've been enrolled here for 5 years now. I'm not asking for a whole heck of a lot, just enough to get me up to the average.

Attempting to get housing for this coming semester has been a goat-rope also. Jamie, Tim's roomate and my future roomate, went to go sign us up.
Phone call #1: J: Hey, they said you didnt pay your housing deposit.
B: OMG, fucking idiots, put the guy on the phone.
Guy: well it looks like you didnt pay your housing deposit, so theres not much I can do you for you.
B: (very slowly) I had the lady from housing roll over my deposit from last semester.
Guy: well, it says here...
B: Listen, you better go talk to someone that knows or I'm gonna lose my damn mind.
Guy: hold on
........
Guy: dont worry, you're all set!
.........
Jamie: Dude, ill call you back if I have any more problems.

Second Phone Call:
J: dude, they just said you dont have any priority points.
B: WHAT?! PUT THEM ON THE DAMN PHONE.
J: dude, she says she wont talk to you.
B: TELL HER TO GET ON THE DAMN PHONE OR WE ARE GONNA HAVE PROBLEMS.

some scuffling...

J: she says she dosent know anything about the points.
B: Find out who does dude.

more scuffling...

J: ok, your all set, your RD found the points.

Thank god, my old RD is the only person in housing with any damn brains.

More ranting to come...I gotta get up for work tomorrow early.
