Argh, my doctor submitted the claim for my last visit under a defunct insured ID, so of course it was denied. I gave them the new card and told them the policy had changed, dang it.

I apologised sincerely, assuring them I hadn't intended to slip anything in through the back door. Signed off with "Roger and out". They complimented me on my courtesy.

Ow. Thank god I wasn't on the phone when I read that.

My big package of OBs from drugstore.com arrived today. Contemplating wrapping them for Christmas.

I often use "balls" as an expletive these days.

I am sitting through some computerized mandated training that I have to do before the end of the year. Which is funny: I wonder if the credit will roll over when I get rehired? Anyway, I aced the pre-training test, and then just took the post-training test and scored 94%. Because how hard is it to know that "bringing a gun to work" is a signifier for workplace violence?

Sheesh.

No OBs at the Ralphs near work, and no space for them either.

1 Walgreens here had none, and no shelf space. The other I checked had some (although obviously no Ultras, which I don't use but I thought it was interesting they were still marked on the shelf).

I've ended up with an 8x10 rug that I don't want. What the frick do I do with this thing? It's draped over my office, I think I can roll it up but I'm not sure I can lift it.

Zen, you might call a women's or homeless shelter with a transitional living program and see if they need it. Sometimes, they will pick stuff up.

I have a pottymouth, and I have to train myself out of it. I say "Oh, bugger!" a lot, and am fairly confident I won't be caught out at work. Sometimes I throw in a "frickin'" and a nice "Merde!!"

CVS had a couple of lonely Regulars and empty spaces for the Super and variety packs.

I read elsewhere that when someone called the company they were told they've been having some sort of supplier issue.

Crap. Major x-mas fail on my part.

We're celebrating x-mas this weekend. I had a bunch of presents that were supposed to be delivered today, but I just discovered the ship-to address defaulted to my old home address. So I called Amazon and they're going to contact UPS and have it sent to my work address instead. But Amazon doesn't know if this will work or how long it'll take.

Tommy, it shouldn't be a problem for UPS as long as they actually have the packages in hand, then it's just a redelivery to a new address, if they have to retrieve them, then it may take longer.
