Trust But Verify

 

Hello Everyone:

Well, I finally got my answer about the planning job.  The person who sent the email blast replied to me saying I would have to contact personnel. Honestly, it sounds like someone did drop the ball in communicated the hiring freeze.  It's extremely frustrating to have to go through the process again but at least I have that piece of insurance.  The whole thing is ridiculous but it's the job I want and feel confident about.  Now, it seems that personnel never notified me about my final results.  Great.  Nice to know my taxpayer money is hard at work.  Idiots.  Anyway, I'm not going to worry about now.  One thing that is still troubling me is my sister and BIL's caginess about the so-called trust fund.  Apparently, it's my mum's retirement account that I was made a beneficiary of and I'm not sure why they're not being more forthcoming about it.  I'm not so much worried about the amount, whatever is in there is in there, what concerns me is if they intend to honor the terms of account and release it to me or keep it for themselves.  Let's just say, I don't fully trust them.  They, specifically my sister, are the types that usually say don't worry, you'll be fine.  You know what happens when someone says don't worry?  Right.  Have they ever given me a reason to doubt them?  Not really but now that money's involve, however the amount, that's the time for doubts.  I really hate this lack of transparency on their part.  If come by on Sunday, I plan to talk to my BIL about, if he's feeling up to it.
