Freaking Out, Hate Everything

[unavoidedcrisis]

At this point, it will actually be easier to start selling my organs to finance school this year as opposed to applying for OSAP. I am pretty much in tears I'm so frustrated. They make this purposefully difficult so people can't get approved and go to college. I am going to become a crazy conspiracy nut and live underground.

Fuck you, school, and fuck the provincial government too. I might just go down to my MPP's office and make them fill out this shit.

They say call your school's financial aid office - I did, they're out of the office for the next two weeks. Then they say to call the OSAP number -- it's busy and keeps disconnecting me. Then they say go into the OSAP office -- it's fourteen hours from here.

What the fuck do they want me to do now? I'm losing my mind here.

Maybe I can help? Even if I can't, my school's OSAP office is probably open and I can probably drop in with a question in the morning.

I think my only question at this point is 'why do you hate me so much', but thanks. I lost my OAN number (because they assigned it 5 years ago and I've gone through 6 moves since then and lost the fricking paperwork), and the so-called challenge questions are not right, I guess... I'm just irked. Going to have to sacrifice a goat and maybe try calling them tomorrow.

I can ask that, but my office might be unequipped to deal with that particular query.

Good luck with endless bureaucracy :(

I don't think anyone can answer that one for me, no. D:

Thanks for offering, bb. <3

Goddamnit I hate dealing with financial aid. Grr! I totally feel your pain... or at least I did like four years ago. Why can't they keep any of their shit straight? Ever?!

It took me two weeks of bullshit (two different times), and I was able to simply walk to the office everyday and speak to the people! Idk what you're gonna do, but I do know that it's a pile of crap and it really shouldn't be your problem, since it's probably them who keeps losing shit or keeps forgetting to enter stuff in the computer, or who frakking even knows.

All I can say is KEEP EVERYTHING THEY EVER GIVE YOU! Every scrap of paper, every envelope... everything. Even if they swear you won't need it again, it's best to just have it. Also, everything you give them, make an extra copy before you give it to them so you can give them another one when they lose it.

Hugs?

Ugh, I hate bureaucracy like that. German is fucking terrible in that way. I hope you manage to get some money out of it in the end.
