Blowing lorries over on bridges that serve as vital transport arteries and mucking up morning commutes, apparently. Also a shout-out from my backside to thin layers of icy snow on ungritted paths.
(Citizens of Canada, Scandinavia, Russia, and Antarctica, please feel free to laugh at us now!)
People talking behimd my back, like I'm actually completel and utterly sick of it.
If you want to talk, talk - don't have issues then not try to resolve them.
people are meant to be fucking adults.
Sidenote: because of said thing I now have more shifts at work?
extra side note: Peopel can get fucked, and not in the good way.
Since moving to Colorado, I haven't gone to the dentist for lack of finding a good one. My work provides dental benefits that I've paid for two years in case of some emergency like horrible cavity or cracked tooth. This year, in the first few weeks of January, I've noticed some sharp pain when chewing on my left side. When I called my provider to recommend a nearby dentist, they informed me that I do not have coverage. It expired 12/31/16. I called HR to find out that my company isn't like any company I've worked at before. Last year, they had something called passive enrollment. Meaning, if I didn't make changes to my benefits, they would continue on to the next year as is. That is like every company I have ever worked for. This year, they did something called active enrollment. Like it sounds, everyone needed to actively re-enroll in benefits. This is the first time I've ever had to do this in my working career. I re-enrolled in Cigna like I was supposed to. Last year, Cigna covered health, prescriptions, dental, and vision. This year, I find out they compartmentalized all the seperate categories. Cigna covers health and prescriptions, but dental is by MetLife and vision by VSP. This was not clearly communicated in any way, even in our benefits portal which was sponsored by Cigna.
So, I do not have dental or vision coverage for 2017. Last night, I stuck a light in my mouth to get a better look at that tooth. I have a nasty crack in it that looks pretty severe. Based on my reading of cracked teeth, the best case scenario is a root canal. Worst case scenario is total extraction.
Without insurance...
Fuck.
On a more silver note, HR informs me that there are over 50 people in the company finding themselves in a similar situation. Because of their poor communication which they stated, "we sent several emails to be absolutely sure everyone knew!" (I checked and no, they did not, and no, they were not clear), HR is working on an extension for me and those 50 plus people. First month with need to be paid out of pocket "IF" they get approval from the provider on a Director level. So while the chances are bleak, there is hope that I might be able to get my tooth fixed in 2017 before something even worse happens. Like a deep root infection that gets into the marrow and forces them to amputate a part or all of my jaw.
Yay, adulting.
and not in the good way.
Hope it all works out.
My 930 am class canceled on me, and rumor on the vine is that registration is down and I MAY have paid for a class that has been canceled.
I am not great at venting because either I am too cheerful to vent or I feel that my irritation should be kept under lock and key (conceal don't feel) but I am a little on the edge right now.
So I have to go to the school councilor during lunch because even though my mom has my transcripts, the ones she got don't have my GPA. We need my GPA on order for a college to accept my application. Getting it'll be a chore but I'm more worried about talking to mom about applying for the college I actually want. I'm always a little scared of approaching her about it, because it means she'll get pissed at me for not "coming to her sooner", and will look at my grades. Either nothing bad will happen, or I will get yelled at because I made a mistake and I'm "too smart to earn Cs". I want to check my grades on my own first and I could to just be able to access my GPA without going to the councilor, but got some reason my school email and infinite campus login won't let me in.
On top of that, this one asshole basically told me that I crawled out of the uncanny valley, which kind of wrecked my confidence in my social abilities for the morning. I am hoping that I can actually get words out tonight. Eep.
Ahhh so yeah Fenny friend is in a bit of a freak out.
WHY MUST THE COLLEGE APPLICATION PROCCESS BE SO DAMN STRESSFUL
The sun....
