This just in: I am kinda awesome.

Spike's Bitches 37: You take the killing for granted.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
You know it's Monday when you spend half the day with your skirt on sideways before noticing. sigh.
A grape fell off the bunch I was eating, rolled down my thigh, bounced off the edge of the open filing drawer, and landed in the trash can. It was Rube Goldberg-esque.
Today I have:
sent my iPhone to a friend who will send it to Apple for repair. Cost me $37 because "Apple doesn't ship to Puerto Rico."
spent 1.5 hours on the phone with my insurance company where it looks like I have to pay for everything but the actual repair up front because "we don't have any contracts with body shops/rental car companies in Puerto Rico."
spent 1 hour on the phone with my two medical insurance companies who say they "may" pay for my coverage if I have the baby in New Mexico, but I'll have to pay the bill and then submit a claim because "we operate differently if your plan is based in Puerto Rico."
Just another day in which I detest living here...

do you have USAA? they're usually pretty good about things like that.
That's so bizarre. It's not like it's the at the ends of the earth.
I just keep pressing "0" until I talk to a person. I refuse to interact with them at all.
Vortex is me.
do you have USAA?
Actually, yes. I can't imagine how hard this would be with some other insurance company. Basically, they have all this great service that just doens't apply here because the laws are so different.

Many companies will not ship here. I'm not exactly sure why, but I *think* it's because they can't get it included in their bulk rate that they pay to UPS/FedEx/whatever.
I think a lot of my frustration has to do with expectations. If I was living in a foreign country, I wouldn't expect stuff to be the same, but this is a US territory, so it seems to me that it should be like the US.

oh, that's really frustrating. I mean, that's why military people have USAA, so they don't have to deal with this kind of bullshit. I would escalate.
