agah!

Jukebox: the Shins - "Gone For Good"

Today is pretty busy, but it's really chill. Hopefully everything with the car is going to be done today. Thank God! Our bikes are finally getting delivered on Monday. Those ass-clowns sent it back from Los Angeles to Omaha because the boxes we used to ship them came from Olympia Cycle.

I didn't even think twice about scratching them off or anything, because we were shipping them all together with the rest of our stuff. The other items that didn't get shipped, also, are coming soon. The reason for those not being shipped is that they took those, along with the bikes, off the pallet, so there's these miscellaneous items just cruising.

I got a letter from the bank yesterday with the letter of garnishment. It's so fucking stupid. It says that it's being garnished because I'm not married or the head of household, which I am both of those. And regarding disposable income, which I have none since I'm supporting two of us, they should've not taken anything. I can't really tell them that at this point, though, since they might come after Jeanne's stuff.

It's fucked up, too, because when Jeanne talked to them she mentioned that she had a business but is in debt to it due to medical expenses. As a result of this we could pay them what we can now and then a full amount at the end of the year. They agreed and we made several payments to them and then they sent a letter stating that the payments were not big enough. So that's dumb. Then they fucking drain my account.

Fuck them. As soon as we're in a good position I'm going to contact him and find out about all this, or maybe even get my own lawyer.

In a round about way this is similar to that Simpsons episode where Homer calls up the telethon to donate all that money, so the telethon ends and he can watch his program but didn't have money to donate. They came to his house to collect the money. This is a true thing that is legal. If you, say, tell an organization that you're donating a certain amount of money to them for their cause that, let's just say, is building a new building. They can start building it because you've agreed to donate/finance the project. If you try to back out of it, you can't. You legally owe them that amount.

So in our case, the law office worked out a deal with us, and all of our finances and things were based off of that. We worked out a five year plan with all our debt and how much we need to make and pay and save and got money together to move to Los Angeles. Everything we've done in the past several months were based on that deal. So by garnishing my account, which by the way wasn't my money, they totally fucked us up and had it not been for family and my boss, we'd of been left on the streets to starve to death.
