Probably going to war

So, I am actually quite irate right now. UCCS (well the whole CU system) has done this thing where they stopped sending paper notices informing someone about their pay. Well, I looked online today, and I made a whopping $340 in the previous pay period. I knew that there was something seriously not right about that number, so I looked around online. Apparently, UCCS, without my explicit permission, has set up a retirement account for me through TIAA-CREF, and thus far they've taken over $100 out of my paychecks, and they've been slowly increasing this amount over the last couple of months. Basically, I'm going to have to call on Monday and shut that off, because I don't want a retirement fund through the university, and I want my 100 dollars.

The unfortuante thing is that the moneys I made in my last pay period, thanks to a dating error on my online credit card payments, are going to go entirely to paying off my credit card, but I can't bitch too much that I won't be in any debt. Whatever. It's just really frustrating to be working as many hours as I have worked (this week I've hit full time, and I've still got probabyl four hours of work tomorrow morning in the lab).

Suffice it to say that the stresses at UCCS in the last week have completely destroyed any kinds of nostaliga or whatever I was feeling last week. This week is definitely the opposite. Right now, more than anything, I just want people to leave me alone. I also want them to stop touching my shit. That would be nice too.

The stresses of work continue to increase, and I'm pretty sure that at some point within the next six months, I'm going to have to snap. Interestingly, I, because of all these stresses, am starting to have a new and wonderful chest symptom: pain.

Ugh. I'm so tired of working. I need a freaking break. Unfortunately, I have no money to take a break, and on top of that, I have no time to get another job.
