Spike's Bitches 41: Thrown together to stand against the forces of darkness  

[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.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Ugh, omnis. At least it's only one month.

I've got two things I'm supposed to go to this weekend. A barbecue with friends on Saturday, and a meetup with internet vegans on Sunday. I'm not sure I have two days worth of social. I guess I'll see how I'm feeling after Saturday.

Evelyn has had one visit to the dentist, around her 4th birthday. (I know, bad mama.) It was fine - the hygenist talked to her first and explained stuff, she got to pick a pair of sparkly pink sunglasses to wear in the chair because of the light, made no complaints about the cleaning, and got a toy plus a toothbrush afterwards. If your practice has someone who is used to kids and this is just a cleaning, it should be fine. If you want to hedge your bets by packing the sparkly sunglasses (which our practice provided) so much the better!

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

If you don't need to use insurance during any insurance gap, you don't need to spend any money on COBRA. Check the cost of your prescriptions and see.

Thankfully I have no prescriptions. But, if my gallbladder acts up, or I get another nasty blockage or some such, I do not want to be without insurance. Tomorrow I have my exit interview with the head of the benefits folks. Hopefully she will have a better sense of it all.

If that happens, you can elect COBRA retroactively, as long as you're within a certain time period. My memory of the last time I did this is that you have 58 days. Make sure to ask about this specifically with the benefits people tomorrow - no sense paying premiums if you don't have to.

It's actually the later of whatever the time period is and when you were notified of this time period. because of NYU's slow bureaucracy I had almost 4 months to make the decision. Which was a good thing because I found out I needed my surgery after I left NYU.

Maybe it's run off with mine. Those crazy kids.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

ARRRRGGGHHHH

Painful. Our IT guy is hot. SMOKING HOT. He has this amazing voice....and gorgeous blue eyes and just a sprinkling of grey hair and is super smart and nice and doesn't wear a ring, and that confluence of wonderousness almost certainly means that he is gay. *Sigh* Except that he dresses horribly shlumishly, so maybe there is hope and no girlfriend. I can't recall being this swoony since undergrad, i feel like an idiot. And....coworker. My second week on the job. Really shouldn't be hurling myself at the overstressed IT guy who barely speaks to me but sometimes smiles shyly as he walks by on his way to the office of whoever important whose computer died today. *sigh* Nor should i be posting this from the work computer, but there it is. I am stooooopid today and having trouble concentrating on the large pile of nothing in my to do pile. Already read two newspaper, three magazines today. *sigh* And he's only in the office two days a week :( But maybe that's for the best as less distraction is probably good right now. But honestly. i could use some distractions! Just not the fantasizing kind. This is really out of character for me! But *Swoon*
