Frustration …. yes, that is a word that fits non-traditional students
….all too often - me, at least - and it is, for some reason …I can’t imagine why… becoming one of the search terms that brings people to visit me 
. Go figure.
Today I have been totally frustrated - also ballistic, infuriated, irked, annoyed and LIVID ….with our bank .
They have taken 6 months to complete what should have been a simple transaction - and when they did finally move the money in question - today - they put it in the wrong account, which completely messes absolutely everything up - and cost us $500+ to boot.
Incompetent, rude, lying, no good… well…. today.com tries to be a family friendly site, so I will stop.
But hours … and a very long rant and several emails and much msn whining …later, I am still so angry that I can’t see straight.
Which is not at all condusive to finishing the seminar about Canadian Crusoes that I need to finish. I keep trying - keep going back to it and working on it… but I am just so gosh darned FRUSTRATED that it is not going well at all.
I have to give the seminar on Wednesday morning… and it is not like I can pull it together tomorrow, either, as I have the drive plus classes and all that fun stuff…. til 9:30 or 10.
So I need to put my aggravation aside and focus. Deep breaths… now back to work.
I know it’s tough and being on the receiving end of massive incompetence and malice is unbelievably frustrating. I think you’re doing the right thing by channeling that anger into communications to address this, but don’t give them the satisfaction of keeping you from your education, too.
