this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Teppy--your company's HR rep should contact the AETNA rep on your behalf and make sure they know you are covered. The AETNE rep might not hop to, since you guys are departing customers, but HR can usually clear these things up IF PUSHED.
We have an insurance rep who's been hounding them, and our more-or-less HR person just called them. Now they say there's a form we should fill out and fax to them. I pushed my appointment to the 31st, but past that, I'm out of luck.
The problematic thing is the time frame of CVS Caremark having to actually physically send the IUD from wherever to my OB/GYN's office. That's what makes the time crunch so much worse. Because first I have to be able to tell CVS Caremark that coverage is active, and then they send it out. And time is getting incredibly short.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
oh durr. It's No FF. These are shows that- no matter how long of a marathon I'm on, I never fast forward through the opening titles. I believe Avatar also belongs on that list.

Well, the rapture didn't happen, but I was able to give someone a near-religious experience this morning ... and give her a destination for her next vacation.

I got my student evaluations from last semester. Pretty good. The only consistent complaint was too much homework. One person said I followed the textbook too closely, another said I didn't follow it closely enough. And one person said that I spend too much time erasing the blackboard. I can only reach about half the blackboard, so I've got to erase twice as often as people who can write on the whole thing. This student suggested having notes on slides and using the chalk just for examples, which is actually something I've been considering doing, but I need to think some more about how to work it out logistically.

Hil, I just got that for my brother, along with the cookie cutters, for his birthday. He's in a cooking club, so I'm hoping that they are useful as well as amusing.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
That's good on the evaluations! Probably everybody says too much homework.
The other thing with erasing, would be to see if you could structure the lessons where the students are doing something or occupied during the transitions. We spend a lot of time erasing, too. Well, actually we spend a lot of time drawing staves back after having just erased them.
