Feeling irate
- Have not received my own money yet after almost 2 months of leaving my former job.
- Really upset about the most recent mass shooting in the US, in a state (Maine) where my favourite uncle grew up. And the frustration of knowing nothing will EVER be done to protect citizens from mass shootings because, why? Because in America the rights of random civilains to own military-grade assault rifles supercedes the rights of families and children to not get shot at a freaking bowling alley. The best thing about my childhood was the time I spent at bowling alleys, so this hits close to home.

I just watched few of my favourite spiritual/stoicism channels on Youtube which helps me calm down.
Just spoke to my former employer's pension center. Apparently you have to submit your forms by the 1st of the month (they received my forms by registered mail on October 2nd- the first was a Sunday) in order to get paid out by the end of the month. WTF? So my request won't be considered until November 1st. My friend and former co-worker got her money within 6 weeks (a few years ago) but by the time I get mine it will be THREE MONTHS from when I left the company.
FYI Companies hanging onto your money for too long is another way of short-changing us. I'm now going to phone the financial institutions commission (branch of the government) to see if they are legally allowed to take this long. Boy, do you ever have to stand up for yourself in this world to get anything including your own money.
We are waiting on basic repairs to make our home warm this winter - both sets of blinds in both bedrooms have broken and we can't fix them. This will cost us more money for band-aid solutions while we wait.

I did just contact the government branch that handles these matters and am waiting for a response. 3 months seems like an awfully long time for someone to be holding onto my own money after I left my job.
It's a different (and in my opinion shady) company that now holds our employer's pension. The change was done in the past year. Previously it was held by a reputable investment firm but they were under-bid by another company I guess.

scared and very uneasy. a significant part of the state is either under a shelter in place order or use extreme caution if you go out. of course this whole thing started with a man that had significant mental health issues and wasn't properly treated. i hope they catch the guy soon so we can feel at least a little safe

Stay safe and I hope it will feel safer soon. These things are truly awful, the closest I can relate is when a suicide bomber killed 22 people at the arena in my home city and there were some scary days as it wasn't known if another bomber was out there. But in the UK these things are still relatively rare and usually one offs. Different story in US unfortunately. Stay safe ❤️❤️❤️
