Friday Update

[clevermanka]

Yesterday was the last time for me to walk home from this job (drove myself today since I have a special parking pass so the F&O people can load my office shit into my car). There were Emotions, which I promptly tamped the fuck down once I got home.

Today is resulting in More Emotions (so many cards from internet friends!) but since there's a strict no drugs or alcohol policy on campus I'm having to actually deal with them. Ugh.

I'm also dealing with a full-blown that UTI I woke up with at 1am. Because of course I would come down with a UTI the last day of my health insurance coverage, with no way to get to a doctor until well after 5pm. Of course! The two times in my life I've ever been without health insurance (between jobs, one time for a month, one time for two weeks) are the only times I've ever had to be admitted to an emergency room so this is (as seascribe put it in a comment to an earlier post) Peak My Life.

Thank dogs Dr. Sexy is willing to call in a broad-spectrum antibiotic for me. I am always so grateful that my Low-Hanging Cloud is usually accompanied by silever linings.

Back to peeling shit off the walls.

oh bb, I'm so sorry. I can't believe they went through with it despite the overwhelming support you had. I know thinking of paperwork and expenses is the last thing you could want right now, but I hope you're able to find health coverage soon. I really wish we had national healthcare.

In the meantime, here is a comfort!ZYL:

Thank you. <3

I signed up for the bare-bones single-payer coverage that is available in Kansas. No dental or vision (of course) and most stuff from Dr. Sexy wasn't covered by my insurance anyway. Being healthy is expensive.

I don't know why the embedded image isn't loading but thank goodness I could go to the image source! BTW, this coming Tuesday's collection is Zhu Yilong. <3 <3 <3

Glad you've worked it out to attend Con*Strict, so something to which to look forward past the current hassles.

[clevermanka]

Oh god, THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THAT UP! I was going to post about it and completely blanked.

Heck yeah going to Con*Strict again!

WTF, wait, doesn't your university offer COBRA benefits? You're losing your insurance just like that? What the everloving fuck!

ARGH. I'm so sorry. A UTI is a shitty cap to the shitfest you're already coping with.

[clevermanka]

It does, but it's a few hundred dollars a month more than going with the cheap government insurance and since I'm probably gonna have to go with that eventually anyway, I signed up for it which makes me ineligible for COBRA.

I just didn't count on, you know, getting a UTI at the last minute and the plan doesn't start until June 1.

[clevermanka]

I mean, I had to put the push-pins back in anyway.

[splix]

OH MY GOD. PERFECT.

[clevermanka]

Loud and angry until The God Damned Bitter End.

[splix]

I would pay good money to be a fly on the wall when the appropriate people discover that.

[clevermanka]

Oh wait'll you see the letter I'm sending to the provost and former college dean. Posting that tomorrow.

God bless Dr Sexy, may you be healthy soon. May the emotions also gtfo.

[clevermanka]

I watch shows and read fic for emotions. I don't need that shit in my daily life.
