The VA just called me on the telephone.

"The guy's name was Bob. He dictated some lengthy typed message. Wanted to confirm that his records indicated I had taken part in the VA's effort to, "simply put," get the money to me as quickly as possible. Then, between hiccups and brain farts in his monologue, he described the possible ramifications of owing the government if my advance was larger than what I am owed (it is not). Otherwise, his dictation promised that the remainder of my benefits would be fully paid by the end of the school year.

Then he said to "have a good night," and hung up.

Holy fuck shit, seriously VA?

It's 20:30, PST, and this dude is working 'round the clock to read me a fucking message? Wasn't that supposed to happen two weekends ago? Now, not only are benefits and claims processors behind schedule, the phone calling message reader guys are too!"
