working for the county part time I did refuse the health care, and I get the dollars for the cheapest plan. but more like 700 - 1000 dollars a year, not 2k. but this is standard practice in gov't work
I can handle the Oz Full Monty. I mean, not 'handle' handle.

One of the nasty tricks that a few crazy insurance companies have slipped in is that you have the option of health coverage through a source other than your spouse then they won't extend coverage
Yeah, I've worked at companies that did this. It's shitty.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
One of my former students just thanked me on FB for teaching her so much during her summer at camp that one of her college classes is a breeze.
Aw. It warms the cockles.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
That's awesome, aurelia.
My main issue with that Franco photoshoot is that Terry Richardson did it. Creepy mofo.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Ah, that is all good to know! I will check with DH's company and see what is the what with them, and then work from there.
I know, I have to actually GET a job offer first, but I'm just trying to think through my options for if that happens, to try and get the best deal. I was pulling all the numbers out of my butt, anyway. I've never had to deal with the option of saying I have benes already, thanks.
Wouldn't you know, on the day of all my aimless unemployed days lately, the day I have an interview and that my stepson and his family are coming this afternoon, someone FINALLY wants the shelving I advertised on craigslist. At noon.

Many vibes for the interview, Erin. And the shelving sale!
Is everyone sleeping in this morning?

I'm awake-ish. I just put together notes for the classes I'm teaching today, and pretty soon I've got to go get dressed and go teach.

Oh no! Napa cabbage shortage in Korea causes kimchi crisis!
An unusually long stretch of bad weather nearly halved the latest cabbage crop, causing prices to soar. At markets in Seoul, shoppers were up before dawn fighting to buy heads of Napa cabbage that once cost about $4 but now go for as much as $14.
Seeking an immediate substitute, the government temporarily suspended tariffs on Chinese-imported cabbage and other produce this week, part of a plan to rush an additional 100 tons of the staple into supermarkets and stores. The Seoul city government, meanwhile, is providing the busiest markets with 300,000 heads of Napa cabbage at just 70 percent of the market price — enough to feed 10,000 households.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I'm showered and the kids are ready to go to school in five minutes. I wish I could crawl back into bed but I've got errands to run while they're out of my hair.
Liv has dance class this afternoon at the Y and I'm making chilli for dinner.
Looks like New Comic Day is the bright spot.
