Dumb and Dumber Rant

fictional (above) real life ? below

I have readers. And I have been disappointing them of late with little to no content.

In a quick survey of readers, the thing they miss the most is my rants.

So here is my rant of the day. I am busier than a one legged man in an ass-kicking contest and am losing most of my matches. Today I received the topper on top of my already too busy work-load.

A (now) disgruntled employee came in today for a 401 K loan. He is desperate for the dough and he needs it NOW. Forget the fact that ala George Bailey's previous instructions he should know that he has to deal with our 401K administrator for this, and that means filling out THEIR forms, communicating with THEM and waiting for THEM to send him a check. We do not have his money. He is quite pissed at ME, because he needs his money NOW. Honestly, if he had not been so pissed, and so nasty and made me so pissed and so nasty we quite possibly could have fronted the money. But, his mother never told him about bees and honey and vinegar.

Here is the kicker. He joined the 401 K in August and has a balance of around $800 of which the plan will only loan him 50%. My belief is that by the time he gets the loan (net of a $100 loan fee) he probably won't need it. But NOOOOOO, he won't listen to me.

And lastly, I think I played ball one summer with the twins pictured at the bottom, I think they went to Kennedy High School.
