Who calls Financial Aid at 8:04 on a Friday morning?View attachment 2372864
Working in student financial aid and wondering why they call bright and early....
Somebody who has a problem that needs to be solved, or a question that needs to be answered—a problem which you are paid to solve, or a question you are paid to answer, J.
Somebody who likes getting up early and getting things taken care of first thing.
Somebody who has a job of their own, and has to be there at 8:30 or 9:00. Or who works graves, just got off, and wants to get their student loan shit settled before they go home and collapse into bed.
And hey, Friday is still a weekday, and thus a business day. The weekend has not started yet. So why Friday is part of your issue with this particular call, I have no idea, other than maybe you just hate your job, resent everybody who calls, and need to invent something to complain about, in a bid for sympathy?
Whatever their reason for calling at 8:04 AM hardly matters. If your working hours are 8:00-5:00, that means you can expect to get calls at any time during that period. Yes, even at 8:04. What, do you think the first hour of the workday is your warm-up hour, and actual work shouldn't start until 9:00; 10:00 if you had your way? Get fucking real.
And the especially stupid thing here is that you don't even have to commute to your (obviously loathed and resented) job, you massive fatwad. Granted, most working people's commutes are less arduous and time-consuming than hoisting your fat self (still wearing yesterday's chocolate-stained t-shirt) out of bed and weeble-wobbling to your desk (stopping in the kitchen to stuff your face and gather the morning's necessary snacks and beetuswater on the way). But other than that, you have it so fucking easy. So shut up about having to actually do your job, already.
