3 Ways To Get Screwed

1. The BridgeMaXX Debacle – I signed up for high-speed internet through BridgeMaXX, but what a ripoff! Their service is practically non-existent. I’ve been on the phone with tech support so often they’re practically family. And get this, since my phone service is also through them, I’m stuck in a loop of poor connectivity. I was supposed to get an external antenna, but they bungled the coordination with my landlord. Despite her being on board, BridgeMaXX won’t follow through. Even the installer, who keeps promising to call back, never does.
2. The Case of the Missing Debit Card – With my internet and phone being a bust, I headed to GFS, only to discover my debit card missing. Swiped right from my wallet at the cyclocross race! Oddly, the thief left everything else. Lesson learned: never leave your bag unattended. Now, I’m juggling legal action against an IT company and dealing with lost/stolen card procedures at the bank.
3. Work Woes and Unpaid Holidays – Amidst this chaos, my boss decides to question my qualifications, adding to my stress. The cherry on top? Learning we have Thursday and Friday off, but Friday’s a no-pay day. Yet, I’m asked to come in anyway, to an empty, closed office. How’s that for absurdity?

That’s my trifecta of getting screwed over. Tomorrow’s mission? Tackle these issues head-on and show them I’m not someone to be messed with. Watch this space!
