Our ERP is inaccessible again. So I'm trying to be productive by doing my open enrollment stuff but I am stymied byt the flex spending options. I know I tried to pay attention last time I refilled my one expensive prescription, but I can't find anywhere where I, like, made a note of how much it was and how much it would be annually.

Let me ask around ,sparky. It might be tomorrow though

There's plenty of time for procrastination when you get a job and start posting on the board.

Heh.

I was wondering if Andy Z would be any good. He may only have name recognition with librarian types, but it's my class.

Remembered what credit card I used to pay for my last prescription and tracked down the charge, woohoo! Finished my open enrollment elections. Did not think very hard about it, but i think I did when I first made the elections that I am mostly confirming? Whatever, it's fine.

ERP still inaccessible. Potluck starting in half an hour. This is a weird day.

I did my open enrollment, too. Sensibly, last year I'd already signed up for supplemental disability insurance and such, so when I decided to be sensible and add it this year, I didn't have to.

I wish the interest rates on general savings accounts made the idea of saving money in the bank more than barely a better idea than sticking your money in the mattress.

That's who I was thinking of, Sparky. He likes stuff like that.

We will be laser sharks together. Who don't do anything that costs, money probably.

Cash-hoarding laser sharks, that's us.

Ain't it the truth. Interest rates are laughable. I make more by picking up stuff at thrift stores and reselling it on eBay than I make in interest on my savings.

I've made several hundred dollars on eBay from Hubby's gaming stuff, and there's still piles of stuff left.

I felt extremely unsure whether I had any right to burden anyone with it

I'm so sorry JZ, what an awful time. Last year I was in a similar place for my friend as her father was dying and it does feel hard to know what to say, what not to say. But I think in the end people want to know, and for you to tell her with love is such a gift.
