Ugh

[maderr]

This is going to be a long week, I can tell. But I'm not bitching, just...stalling.

Sometime during lunch today I have to work up the nerve to call some of these numbers and get some help. Which, later, will probably require me taking time off of work. The most annoying part of that being that I'll have to use vacation time instead of sick time.

And it's sad that in all of this, the thing I dread most is the phonecall. I hate hate hate phones unless I know the person to whom I'm speaking. Family? Good. Friends? Good. Everyone else? Not so good. I sound like a fucking moron.

So calling a lawer because I'm being sued?

See, this is why I try not to think about it. I feel sick to my stomach.

And on top of all this, coworker is out on vaykay so for the next three days I have to work until eight.

Need more coffee. It's about the only thing my stomach won't puke up at the moment. Will somebody try and convince me I don't need to have a damned heart attack over this? >_

XD So this is why caller ID is your friend. Although, something bad might happen if you keep avoiding lawyers who are telling you you're being sued. ^^;

heh. I'm not avoiding them - I wish I'd gotten the notice sooner, so I could have called someone. Because I'm sure they *do* they think I'm avoiding them.

An oh yes, I do love caller id.

What exactly does the letter about you being sued say? Is it actually in court yet or are they threatening to take you to court. If they haven't actually tried to take you to court yet and are just threatening what you need to do is get all your credit cards in credit counseling. They will talk to the credit card companies, get your interest rates reduced and work out reduced payments so you can pay all your cards and not have any of them yelling at you. The lower interest rates alone are worth it.

You don't need to have a damned heart attack, it's usually in the best interest of the companies NOT to take you to court, they will almost always work out a settlement rather than having to go through actual legal proceedings. I know it's easy for us to say 'don't worry', but I know that's not how you feel. I think you can work something out and try not to let it keep you depressed/upset 24/7.

I despise talking on phones w/ strangers; I didn't start to get over it til I joined the military adn was forced to do so.
Why are you being sued? x_x;;

I know it's probably not the way you'd want to go, but have you looked into what the pros & cons to just declaring bankruptcy are?

[mashoogina.livejournal.com]

Did you ever think of calling one of those credit counseling places? Like the consolidation ones? That might be a good place to call as well to reduce your monthly payments/interest/etc. How much are lawyer fees going to be in this case, too?

I agree with the above that perhaps you should investigate bankruptcy... it's like a red letter on you, but perhaps it's best in these circumstances.

*hugs* too btw... I'm here for you.

I know it's not the same situation, but after that shit went down with Nameless and Ann, I couldn't eat much of anything for a week. Of course, my appetite returned with a vengeance afterwards. But in anycase...

Don't really know what my point was there. I'm certain I probably had one at some point, but don't honestly recall what it was now. hmm...

I'm such a dumbass.

umm... hugs? hearts?

XD OMG I thought I was the only one in the whole world who is afraid of phone calls <3333 Or is it just this one?

*loves* You'll be okay. I have to call a lawyer too. *sends support~!*

phone + me + stranger = no good. I try and get everyone in my family to do a phonecall other than me.

I do hope that everything goes well for you and that this company suing you won't cause too much of a hassle for you. (not that it already hasn't.)

I know this sounds sickeningly optimistic, but cheer up! I certainly don't want to see you get a heart attack. *huggles*
