Thrive to spite them

Today just got better.

I won't have to leave work to rush over to the drs for an open clinic to get samples of a med. Of course I'll have to go to an appt on the 29th.

But they are calling in a scrip. I can pick it up this afternoon. I'd already made arrangements to be off to go to the drs and I'm not changing that.

I'm going to go home and take a nap.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I wouldn't mind the cat throw-up so much, but Daniel slipped in it. Even though he seems not much the worse for wear, my heart is still going a mile a minute.

Sorry to scare you, my love. At least I have learned to fall right. Pity about the bacon. At least the Corelle ware didn't smash into a meelion peeces.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."

Gronk!

So, if an employer doesn't pay any of the premium, do folks think it is worth getting dental insurance? I actually have to be at the dentist a lot (soft teeth, lots of cavities. Curses!), but it seems like insurance never pays for very much of what I have to get done.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Would it be possible to get a year long job in England, to shore up your credentials/skills? Or would that be too much of a hassle?

Tricky - there really aren't many at all at this point. At the main recruiting time one would find upwards of 8000 jobs advertised on the TES website (which is where all the teaching jobs are advertised). There are presently 379. And that's for all of the UK and any International jobs, from Head through to Teaching Assistant, from KG through to University lecturer.

Argh.

I am actually giving serious consideration to approaching my Evil Former Employer and seeing whether he can give me a reason to return to teach at the Evil School.

Lilty, I (and now some of my coworkers) have this: [link] for dental care. I looked around at a lot of options and went with this company. It's about a hundred bucks a year, and it's saved me many times that. Just check with your dentist and make sure they take it, but I definitely recommend it for anyone who doensn't have dental coverage.

Always Anti-fascist!

Hec, Emmett looks so much like you! Hairless cats are cats, but it's weird to me to think of petting something hairless. Maybe that is why I am still single. You guys and wanting me to get the weird t-shirts! Fay, that's a strange situation. Hope it works out.

Ooh, thanks Brenda. The new job has Delta Dental, but they don't pay any of the premium, and I don't know how much that is. Sure, I will once I start, but right now I'm all full of the anxious and trying to get together a ballpark figure on how much I'll pay for health insurance and stuff.

Next up, I can pay 20% of the premium for an HMO, or 10% for a PPO. No vision included in the PPO, but how big a deal is that really and...oi. Maybe I can make myself just not think about any of that for another week.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Hairless cats are cats, but it's weird to me to think of petting something hairless.

Hairless cats actually have very short fur. They've been described as feeling like a suede hot water bottle.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Hairless cats feel like suede. Like suede hot-water bottles, really. They aren't hairless like a bald head, or a rat's tail -- they have a very fine fuzz.

t edit Heh. Almost verbatim x-post!

If you end up going that route, the dental thing I linked includes vision.
