The Girl Who is Never Well  
Still sick.
Scratchy throat, runny nose, voice mostly there but it hurts to talk.
I'm not gonna let that stop me though. My thinking is that it's NOT the flu shot making me sick. I'm basing that on the fact that H is also sick as of yesterday afternoon. So, hopefully we will both be well soon. I'm working today and tomorrow at the day-job, but H is off until Weds.
Customers are getting on my last nerve already. The weekend was slow, but a few terrible customers. Why do people think screaming will get me to send you free stuff? It won't. In fact, it makes me dig in my heels and not give you things I would normally give to people when they're being polite.

I got precious little work done over the weekend.
Couldn't even watch Boardwalk Empire last night because HBO Go is a bitch full of suck.
Too bad too, because Nucky's family is totally turning on him. That's the kind of stuff that can only happen on TV. See what I did there? Hahahahahaa!

In other news, our medical bills are giant. Just got another bill telling me I don't owe the dentist $50, which I was totally worried about coming up with. Actually, we owe them $300 for reasons I am still unsure of. If it turns out to be for the Xrays they lied to me about, we are going to have a problem.
My CPAP mask hurts my face, but it's $120 to try the other kind. *sigh* If anyone tells you our health care system is fine, they're obviously rich. Please push them and take their money. Ha! Oh, c'mon. It's a JOKE. Whenever you give me THAT look...it's a joooooke. You know, like electrocuting Mexicans. Lulz. Someone on FB last night suggested that if people don't like their health coverage, they should negotiate it themselves away from a company. Joke is, once you have insurance and then switch, anything you were ever diagnosed with is now a "pre existing condition" which means they can't give you medical care/coverage because you are NOT physically well.

You guys ready for another shitty year of deceitful politics and idiots flaming away online?
Yeah...me neither, but there doesn't seem to be much choice. I can say that if OWS is still happening after the (lame, gregorian) new year, I'm totally going. The cops should have all their anger worked out by then, or at least their beating arms will be too tired to pack much of a whallop.

TV season is still pretty great.
Never Fear, Dexter. I see the light in you.

Actually dudes, I posted this on Dreamwidth and am crossposting it here. It doesn't mean I love you any less. Honest. On Dreamwidth? Add me: "Wednes."

Someone gave me the same ick you've got!! I was a sick puppy all weekend. Back at work, but I still feel like a zombie at this point. Better than a corpse, I suppose.

You can negotiate rates with hospitals and clinics, but the insurance companies will always get better deals, since they have the numbers. Billing depts can and will negotiate discounts, payment plans, etc. They basically are giving up when they sell you to a collection agency.

My life would be so much easier if we had a public option for healthcare. Would love to tell the various insurance companies where they can stick their BS voice rec systems!

Sick seems to be going around. Hope you're over it soon.

Much agreed on the public option.

I managed to pickup Undine's Killer Death Plague Puppet Cold she gets every year. She had it a few weeks back. I Clorox-wiped every surface, washed my hands like I was MacBeth's wife and took vitamins daily & on-schedule? Still, weeks later I get it. Meh.

Of course I feel like crap. Of course I am working a paying gig tomorrow at the polls from 6am-8pm, so I'm sure losing my voice and having this cold won't get in my way AT ALL. Meh.
