Hmm. It's sounds like the finest party I can imagine getting paid to go to.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Woot, someone just came and picked up a chest of drawers, and someone else is supposed to come get the file cabinet.

I have a new employer and the way they do HSA is a straight out clusterfuck. I had to go with one company for the HSA, and another administers the debit card. OMG. I just can't even deal.

And I think I had to submit DNA in order to get the account established in the first place.

I seriously considered looking into setting up my own HSA rather than the company (my self-employed friends do this) but the idea of the tax work I'd have to do (it would be moved after tax, so I'd have to make sure of how to go to get the taxes back) and me so bad with all that....

But, le n, at least yours does a debit card. I have to submit and get a check back two weeks later. Pain in the ass!

I've had a super exciting night of mopping the floor and cleaning the bathroom and remaking the twins bunk beds. I still have to go buy some food and a glass bowl. My life...it sure is exciting.

Also I spent 2 hours reconciling the cookie books. Jesus! We still have 21 boxes in inventory. And a cookie booth next weekend. I think I need to learn to be less controlly and let the cookie mom sweat all of the details. The problem is that kids at my school, which has no girl scouts of its own in that neighborhood, LOVE the cookies and always ask me for some. So I have a sort of weird supply of them.

Kat,

I would almost prefer that (and I did that - scanned in the receipts, etc.) because half the time I forget to use my debit card.

Our old insurance had an auto-submit thing, so that was pretty sweet. We'd just get checks in the mail. The debit card is not bad, once we got in the habit of using it.

I can do both, but with this stupid card, if it is over the balance, they accept it and then you start getting hit with fees for INSF. Past cards either declined (and you could submit for less reimb) or acted like a credit card and send you a bill for the difference at the end of the year, no interest. The latter was 2 years ago, it was nice.

I won't have the funds in my account to cover *just* the crowns until the end of this year. So pointless to use it.

Dana, I had that kind too! It was nice.

It's just such a racket, and gotten worse since they are looking at losing their profit margins. Single payer, goddamnit.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I am peering at the pictures of the box and reading three times to make sure they're not sneaking some stevia in to cause me pain.

Just click on the links in the For Cooking section of the product page. The orange, lemon, and lime on there are the cooking ones. And you don't have to look at the boxes, because the ingredients are on the page. The unsweetened lemon for drinking also doesn't have stevia.

Why do people not HR or your superiors care so passionately about what you are wearing?

I'm in IT! On the IT floor, not the exec floor or the business floor. No one comes down here if they can avoid it, and the visitors never do. It should be a non-issue, yet...
