So, I used to have my employee savings plans administrated through one organization. The company changed administrators. All well and fine, except that somehow my year end statements seem to have disappeared into the ether. The old administrator doesn't have the files any more, the new administrator claims that they can't give me anything prior to when they took over (the first quarter of this year).

I've spent too much of my life already trying to track down answers. And of course the former employer's HR department is no help at all. Not that they were much help when they were my current employer, anyway. Catbert is not a myth. Catbert is an understatement.

I may have finally found someone who is willing to try and help me. But her ability to help me is strictly dependent on someone higher in the food chain being willing to give her information.

I'm not holding my breath.

I am dire and cynical about all of humanity today. I really don't want to be. I want to be happy and trusting and full of faith that when you're told something it's real and true and... and then you start to smell the smoke they're blowing up your posterior and you're back at cynical stage one again.

The glass is half-full. But it's leaking onto your lap.
