one thing about taking on a mortgage that I didn't expect is that it reset my level of OMGWTFDebt.
I don't even consider my mortgage when I'm calculating my debt. My credit cards are scary enough without adding an extra six figures.
We can come by between classes. Usually I use that time to copy over my class notes with a system of different colored pens. But it's been pointed out to me that that's, you know...insane.

Yeah, you'd think that the requirements for earning that honor might be a little more stringent than "hasn't antagonized every other government in the world while butchering the English language."
I'm a supporter and all, but he hasn't accomplished enough to earn a supermarket opening yet, much less a Nobel Peace Prize.
The deadline for nominations is Feb. 1, by the way. So he was nominated after 10 1/2 days in office.
WHAT.

Well, since I sorta expect you to send it after Rush and Glen Beck at some point, it seems like a win to me. As well as being supremely cool.

Fair point.

Sophia, I don't think it's your fault that he doesn't keep track of his expenses, nor is it your fault that his CC wasn't charged for three weeks. Can you throw him over to someone in the financial office who does do the batch processes so they can tell him to go away?

I would say a world of no in getting him his money back. Charged later, not earlier? Not your problem. But bosses son is a problem. Can you throw the question over to the boss, let her decide?

I hear you, Teppy -- I only count mortgages in with regular consumer debt for completeness's sake. And consumers are finding out the hard way that houses don't always work as investments, alas.

I expect you'd have mentioned if during the intervening three weeks he kept calling to alert you that you had failed to charge him, no? Yeah, didn't think so.
It's a sucky situation to put someone in, and why if I cash a check more than a week or so after someone gave it to me I'll try to ping them with a heads-up. But end of the day, it's his business to stay on top of.
