Oh, god, demo #1 in progress, and I think I may have flashed up a b.org web screen for a second. Whoops.
To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

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

It's perfectly normal to feel slightly panicky and unsettled when trying to make sense of one's new medical insurance, right?
(I swear, the only reason I would go back to being a FTE at the Big Software Company is the health coverage. In all other respects, being a vendor for them is FAR better than being a FTE. But wow, I miss their health coverage.)

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Health insurance is the main reason I have a fulltime job.

Health insurance is the main reason I have a full-time job, too. Because there's no way our household would work if both of us were freelancers, no matter how much I wish it would be possible.

Whew! Luckily software failure protected me from airing my business in front of prospective customers.

OMG, it rules all my decision making. First and foremost.

And as things stand now, dictates where I will be working for the rest of my life.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
My younger brother just checked in from Misawa. He's okay, so that's good, and he didn't have much else to report. Mains power is still out, cell phones are still out, and his internet connection is "spotty."

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Not having health insurance for three years made me EXCITED for double foot surgery once I finally had it again.
This is disturbing but not as disturbing as being in a mosh pit with fresh new health insurance and getting kicked in the nose and thinking "Good thing I have health insurance!" before my hand even reached my face.
This should NOT be the faster reflex, people.

For when Burrell checks in--your family up here is far enough away from the water not to be at risk, right?
They're fine Perkins, thanks for asking. They are in the tsunami zone, but much of the beach is surrounded by a 30 ft cliff. Sis said the kids even went to school in the late morning when it was clear they weren't in danger.
